About

Williams Wharf, an historic boatyard and steamship landing provides public access to Mathews' picturesque East River for engineless watercraft (canoes, kayaks, rowing shells). The site was also used to film a scene in the Harriet film!

Recent restoration of the wharf area added waterfront green space, floating docks, fishing pier, support building with restrooms, an exhibition building for events or water-oriented classes and activities, a small floating stage and outdoor seating, and small-craft handling center.
