Boat Ramp at Marina Park |
Unlike Rhode Island’s other large salt ponds (Ninigret, Green Hill, Quonochontaug and Winnapaug) that are coastal lagoons, Point Judith Pond is an estuary where the Saugatucket River empties to the sea. I put in at the state boat ramp at Marina Park. Around the docks to the right is Silver Spring Cove where the Saugatucket River flows into the Upper Point Judith Pond.

Once through the Narrows I paddled across the top of Point Judith Pond to Billington Cove to check out the osprey nest. Then I paddled into Congdon Cove before heading back to the put-in.
