About This Access Site
The Choptank River Yacht Club in Denton offers a public boat ramp providing access to the Choptank River, a tidal waterway in Maryland's Eastern Shore. The facility includes a soft-landing area ideal for kayakers and canoeists, mooring slips, restroom facilities, picnic tables, and fuel services. The paved parking lot is accessible for those with mobility needs, though public parking is located in a free gravel lot approximately one block away from the ramp itself.

Non-members can use the boat ramp but are limited to 6 visits per calendar year. The Choptank River is a moderate-sized tidal river suitable for paddling, with opportunities for both day trips and longer explorations. Before visiting, confirm current access policies and any applicable fees, as policies may vary for non-members. The presence of a soft-landing area makes this a particularly welcoming option for paddlers launching kayaks or canoes.
