Warwick Pond is an 85 acre pond in the middle of Warwick, just east of the T.F. Green Airport…read more There is a boat launch off of Wells Avenue for hand-carried boats, it's mostly street parking for anyone wanting to visit or to come for any water activities. This put-in is at a small park on the east side of the pond, and provides a suitable location for launching hand-carried boats. There is no parking lot, but there is roadside parking. There's a fence between the road and the park, with a gate leading into the park. Buckeye Brook flows out of the southwest corner of the pond and is large enough to paddle for some distance. The brook is very slow moving in this area so once you have gone as far as you want to you can reverse direction and come back upstream to the pond. The shoreline of the pond is largely developed. The brook feels less developed because of the wetlands that provide a buffer between the brook and the adjacent residential neighborhoods. This pond has ongoing issues with toxic algae blooms. Such blooms are most likely to happen in the summer. When there is an algae bloom people and pets should avoid contact with the water...just check the alerts put out by the RIDOH and DEM.

My boyfriend and I moved to Warwick about a year and a half ago, and have struggled with the fact…read morethat we don't own a pool and are fairly far away from the South County beaches (especially with traffic). Not deterred, we looked into beaches in this area and came across a few options. Of course we know that there's Oakland Beach, but I'm not a huge fan of salt water swimming and it's just not that great of an ocean beach. I remember visiting lakes all the time as a kid in northern Rhode Island...I figured that there must be SOMETHING comparable around here, so I did a quick Google search. It seems like there's three main freshwater swimming areas in Warwick...Warwick Pond, Gorton Pond, and Little Pond. Well, yesterday we decided to try out Warwick Pond as it's just down the street from us. After asking around, we discovered that, while there's no public beach on this pond, there's a place where people have access to the water for swimming and boat launching. Off of Lake Shore Drive, there's a little dirt road called "Wells Ave" on the map that goes right into the pond. It's not like you could go there and have a picnic, but it was fine for us! We parked on Lake Shore Drive, walked down, and hopped right in. Although a little murky and you should probably wear water shoes, the water was refreshing and perfect for a hot day. We want to try out the other two ponds as well, but we had a ton of fun just hanging out and swimming. We even saw some other people swimming there as well, and a few people came and launched boats while we were there. A pretty popular spot, it seems! One last thing to mention...while it was great for a short swim, somebody living in the area mentioned that the people living in the houses that are right next to this access road don't appreciate it when people get too loud. So it wouldn't be a good place for drinking or noisy late-night swimming -- mostly just for families, couples, solo swimming, etc.

However, Mike is fastidious and this Brewer shows it off: clean bathrooms, well groomed landscaping, nice pool - and well-maintained non-skanky slips.

Being a member at a Brewer marina there are some perks: a few nights for 'free' at other Brewers, discounted gas... What really makes Cove Haven is the people though - great management, friendly fellow Sperry-clad boat owners, and an overall calm that can only be achieved on the water.

Any fears I had were quickly put to rest by the new team. They handled my situation with professionalism even though they were in the middle of a major reorganization of the business side of the yard and understanding current state of the business during the start of the boating season. I live far enough away that it is inconceivable I will ever be able to use their services again. They were aware of the situation and still went out of their way to accommodate a number of crisis that popped up as we got ready to sail away from the boatyard. It is very rare to find this level of service from any business. I even received a call from one of the new management team asking about the trip to the new port a few weeks after we left the boatyard. I tried to convince them to open a facility in my area; unfortunately they are very busy with the current location.
