Harbor Landing - Lynn,MA

     Located in Lynn,MA sits a nice launch spot for kayak fishermen looking to fish in a cove with quick access to the Saugus River.

     Enter: Harbor Landing. Located off of the Blossom Street Extension off Route 1A (Lynnway) in Lynn,MA. This launch ramp has plenty of parking for 25 trailer spots, is town owned, and open to all.

     After visiting the Massachusetts Energy & Environmental Affairs page, they have some additional info to provide: * All of the ramps are either state, private, or municipally managed.  Many ramps charge fees.  Some have residency requirements.

     Here's a view of the parking area. To the left of the dark colored car at the bottom left, that area is fenced off, as well as the perimeter of the lot.


     This is another view of the boat ramp and the street extension which appears to be located in an industrial area.


     This is an aerial view of the area located on the Broad Sound just inside Boston's harbor area. There's a lot of shallow areas in the cove. Perfect place for a little night fishing adventure. At the top center of the pic (near the 1A route number), that building with the white roof is where the launch ramp is located. The darker areas are the deep spots, the shallow areas are highlighted in beige.
