Connecticut River at Northampton Boat Launch

After a large storm deposited a sand bar, this area has colloquially been called "Northampton Beach."

This area includes an access ramp for kayaks, canoes and human-powered rowing and paddling watercraft.

The area is owned by City of Northampton Parks & Recreation and closes at dusk,  park rules require all users to carry-out all trash.  Gas powered boats may not be launched from or dock at the site.
