Located beneath the Route 123 bridge at 111 Mill Street, the Town’s new Kayak Launch Ramp was largely funded through a grant the Town sought in 2010 from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. It is believed to be the only free, 24/7 public access ramp on the Occoquan River suitable for people with ambulatory disabilities.
There is some brief instructional signage in place explaining how to use the facility, but essentially it involves placing your kayak or canoe on the launch ramp and then sliding along rollers into the water. Those using a stand up paddle board with fins will not want to use the ramp, but instead will want to walk across the ramp (preferably not stepping on the rollers) and simply launch their board from the river side.
