Ryder's Cove is in Chatham or No. Chatham to be precise (I think).

I was thinking of getting there around 8am.. or so

no mater what ramp you use, the parking is going to be tricky. My father lives in chatham but on the other side of town. you may have a better chance of finding a spot if you get there early.

There is also a ramp at River Road in Orleans. People park one the right side of the street after you launch. There is probably room for 10 or so truck and trailers. The only downside is you are at the end of the bay vs, the middle with Ryders Cove. Not a bid deal though.

SwampYankee-

There is/was a ramp down the street from the main Nauset Marine in Orleans. It sounds as you describe, park along side the road. It was a great trip from there to pleasant bay, totally protected and lots of sights, is this the ramp you are thinking of?

I believe so. Nauset Marine East is on Meetinghouse Pond. There is only one possible ramp on the pond, which is small and probably not a great launch ramp. River road is probably what you are thinking of. There is a small turnaround at the end with a Town dock that could hold 4 boats tied up. Meetinghouse pond is just up river and you can see it from the Ramp/Dock. It is a beautiful ride down the river into Pleasant bay. The river is no wake until it opens up. After you drop your boat in you park on the right side of the Road. No stickers or permits needed.
