Helpful Information

• Prudence Island is accessible via ferry (vehicles and passengers), departing from Bristol.
• Bikes are a good way to get around the island, but keep in mind many of the roads are not paved; bikes with thick, wide tires are ideal.
• The only public restrooms on the island are located at the NBNERR headquarters (typically open M-F 8:30-3:30 pm)  and there is a composting toilet at the south end near the T-Wharf.
• There are no overnight accommodations or restaurants, but there is a small general store at the ferry landing.
• Free day parking in Bristol is available in a municipal lot on Thames Street directly opposite the Prudence Island ferry landing and parking lot. Please note that this lot does not provide overnight parking.
