Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge

 

Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge Boat Ramp

Northampton County

 

 

 

Mud ramp on side of road with ample parking for 6 to 8 vehicles. Not usable at Low Tide, but acceptable at mid- to high-tide levels. Paddlers will have to be aware of power boat users and shallow spots in marsh. This is a great put-in as it provides all weather access to the water without exposing paddlers to a major waterway.
