Riverside Marine
(Tiverton)

Riverside Ramp This is one of the best private ramps around.  Located at 211 Riverside Drive in Tiverton, a member could purchase bait at nearby Riverside Bait & Tackle and launch his boat in one stop.
     A fee of $5 is charged for the day or a season pass can be purchsed for $65.
     The single ramp is concrete and in good condition, with a floating dock nearby.   There is sufficient water depth for launching most boats.
Riverside Parking

There is parking for approximately 20 cars and trailers, but as noted by Ed Noll, "This ramp is very busy on weekends and parkign is quickly used up."
