The Minot Kayak Ramp is a great access point for those looking to explore the North Scituate marshes, Bassing Beach or Cohasset Harbor area. The ramp was formally constructed as part of an Eagle Scout project in 2015-2016 by a Scituate resident. The project went through the formal town processes and has been an incredibly popular kayak ramp ever since. You are almost guaranteed to see another person out of the marsh during your visit - but don't worry, it's not too crowded.
In the map below, we've highlighted a route that will take you to Cohasset's Bassing Beach. All you have to do is follow the main path of the marsh and you'll make it there in just over 1 mile. Bassing Beach is a beautifully quiet spot to take a rest before turning around - or continuing your adventure. Maybe you are even smart enough to pack a picnic lunch.
Important Information:
- Check out the informational sign! There is a great nautical map of the area that will help you understand water depth and different marsh passages. Friendly hint? One side of the sign is the map, the other side covers wildlife that you could expect to see.
- Always practice good judgement and wear a life jacket. Safety is really important, so please be prepared.
