Dennis Creek Wildlife Management Area

The Dennis Creek Wildlife Management Area offers public boat access to Dennis Creek and the Delaware Bay via a dedicated boat ramp located in the parking area at the end of the access road in Dennis, Cape May County. This is a well-established launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats seeking to explore the coastal waterways. **Note:** A valid New Jersey Fish and Wildlife Division boat ramp maintenance permit is required to use this facility (annual fee applies).

The ramp provides access to tidal waters with connections to the broader Delaware Bay system. This area is particularly popular among paddlers and anglers interested in exploring the scenic coastal creeks and wildlife habitat. Recent improvements to the facility include a widened boat ramp, accessible dock, and enhanced parking and lighting. The surrounding 7,591-acre Wildlife Management Area supports diverse migratory birds and wildlife, making this an excellent access point for nature-oriented recreation.

Before launching, confirm current permit requirements and any seasonal restrictions with the New Jersey Fish and Wildlife Division. Plan your paddling around tidal conditions, as this waterway is tidally influenced.
