Common questions
Can I leave my car and trailer here overnight while out on the water?

Are there motor restrictions on this stretch of the Wareham River?
Not confirmed; no horsepower cap or no-wake zone specific to Tempest Knob is on record in town sources.
Where do I park at Tempest Knob Boat Ramp?
Paid lot ($5/day or $50/yr).
Is there an entry fee at Tempest Knob Boat Ramp?
Yes, $5/day launch and park, or $50/year Tempest Knob season pass.
What rules should I know at Tempest Knob Boat Ramp?
No lifeguard on-site.
