Besse Park & Pier
Town of Wareham
Besse Park sits on The Narrows in Wareham Center, where the freshwater Agawam and Wankinco rivers meet to form the Wareham River. The town-owned park has a grassy lawn with picnic tables, a wooden sport fishing pier and a floating dock, and the Buzzards Bay Coalition notes that anglers line up here each spring for schoolie stripers heading up the river. It's an easy spot for a waterside stroll or to sit and watch the evening light on the river. The Coalition lists it as open dawn to dusk, with a small paved lot, ADA access and leashed dogs welcome.
