About This Access Site
The Greenville boat ramp provides access to the Tar River, a significant waterway in eastern North Carolina. The Tar River at this location is a large river system with a stream order of 7, characterized by moderate current and substantial flow averaging over 3000 cubic feet per second. The river has an average gradient of 3.1 feet per mile and moves at approximately 2.4 feet per second, making it suitable for various watercraft but requiring awareness of current conditions. The water body drains a 2903 square mile area and extends 198 miles in total length with significant elevation change from source to mouth. Boaters should be aware that while this is a major river system, conditions can vary seasonally based on rainfall and upstream flow.
