What visitors say
Mixed reviewsLittle Falls Boat Ramp is well-suited for kayaking and fishing, with a portable bathroom in the parking lot. The ramp is short and shallow, making it challenging for larger fiberglass boats, especially at low tide—mid-tide or higher is recommended for bigger vessels. The non-floating dock requires driving boats onto trailers, and the parking lot could use better maintenance.
