At the Winthrop Street bridge over the Ipswich River in South Hamilton MA. Pictures taken September 2016. Looking downstream on Ipswich River from the Winthrop Street bridge, Ipswich River today is bone dry and not runnable on a kayak. Looking at the Ipswich River from the southeast of the bridge, it's all dry mud to get to the water. I can only imagine in times of higher water levels, this will be a good spot to launch onto the Ipswich. Now at the takeout at the end of Peatfield Street in Ipswich MA. I have verified that indeed there is a small public access to Ipswich River from here. At the end of Peatfield Street is this path to Ipswich River. The take out from Ipswich River at the end of Peatfield Street. I tried to walk to the water but my feet is sinking in th semi-dry mud.
