This is a site for launching boats from trailers. Boat ramps can normally be used to launch canoes and kayaks but please do your best to keep the boat ramp clear for boat trailers.

Description & Overview:

Keech Pond is a 49-acre pond separated from the larger Smith and Sayles Reservoir by a low dam.

This RI DEM site has a cement plank boat ramp into Keech Pond and a gravel parking lot. No motors in excess of 10 H.P. may be launched or hauled from this ramp. Keech Pond is a convoluted pond with various coves to explore in a small boat, however much of the shoreline is lined with homes, making it less scenic than more natural ponds.
