Upper Point Judith Pond - July 13, 2026

Boat ramp at Marina Park
I decided to stay close to the cottage today and paddle around Upper Point Judith Pond. I will be leading a RICKA trip here next week, so I wanted to check out the put-in 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 paddled up past Jonathan Island and Harbor Island, through the Narrows into the Upper Pond, and through the mooring field to Marina Park. Then I paddled back past Harbor Island and Ram Island to return the cottage.
