Gano Street Park Boat Launch - Providence, Rhode Island - Boat Ramps on Waymarking.com

The Gano Street Park Boat Launch allows access to and from the Seekonk River in Providence, Rhode Island. It is a concrete ramp and rip-rapped shoreline with a floating dock along the south side. There are seventeen parking spaces - seven of which are pull-through. Explore Rhode Island describes the launch and waterway:

This boat ramp, opened in May 2014, provides access to the Seekonk River from the Providence side for both hand-carried and trailered boats. Most people launching here will probably be planning to head north up the Seekonk. At the boat ramp the Seekonk is over 1000 feet wide but still feels somewhat river-like. Further north the Seekonk is as much as half a mile wide and feels more like an estuary than a river. While the Seekonk is in the midst of urban northern Rhode Island it's a surprisingly wild-feeling place, with long stretches of wooded shoreline. At the far northern end of the Seekonk, 3½ miles from the boat ramp, the Seekonk narrows down and leads up to the mouth of the Blackstone River in Pawtucket.

There is no lighting at the parking lot or launch. It is immediately off of a two-lane, urban street just north of I-195 highway -- Exit 1D westbound and 1A eastbound.
