The roadsign to the ramp to Agawam Mill Pond on Ames Island Road in Wareham MA.
Trip date is September 2017.
The state ramp on Ames Island Road. I learned about this ramp only during my kayak trip launching from Whitlock's Landing.
At Whitlock's Landing on Glen Charlie Road in East Wareham MA.
The launch here is a little muddy and the ramp will be much preferable (had I known it).
The Boston Kayaker just launched into Agawam Mill Pond from Whitlock's Landing.
