Paskamansett Park
If you’re searching for a quiet spot to sit and picnic with family, look no further than Paskamansett Park in Dartmouth. This small, grassy town-owned park also has a canoe launch where you can access the slow, wooded waters of the Paskamansett River.
Features
Paskamansett Park is a great spot for local residents to take a quick walk with their dog along the river.
With a grassy lawn, picnic table, and bench by the river, Paskamansett Park is a peaceful setting for a streamside picnic with friends and family. One of the park’s most fantastic features is the canoe launch on the Paskamansett River.

Trails
Paskamansett Park has a short walking trail that runs for about one-tenth of a mile through the woods before ending at private property. For local residents, this is a perfect place to take a short walk with your dog after work.
Habitats & Wildlife
The river access at Paskamansett Park makes this a good spot to look for wildlife like fish and frogs. Sit quietly along the banks of the river, and you might see a turtle sunning itself on a log. Upland forest habitat extends along the banks of the river, providing shelter for birds and small woodland mammals.
