About This Access Site
Hopyard Landing provides public access to the Rappahannock River, a large and scenic waterway in King George County, Virginia. The concrete boat ramp and adjacent pier make it easy to launch canoes, kayaks, and small motorized boats.

The Rappahannock River is a substantial river, measuring over 190 miles long with an average flow of over 3,200 cubic feet per second. Its headwaters are located nearby, and the river gradually descends over 1,400 feet to the Chesapeake Bay. Paddlers and boaters can expect moderate current and occasional light chop, especially on windy days.

Hopyard Landing offers ample parking and basic amenities for recreational users. While specific hours and fees are not listed, it is a state-maintained public access site available for day-use. Paddlers and boaters should use caution when launching and be prepared for the Rappahannock River's size and flow characteristics. Nearby historic sites and parks provide opportunities for further exploration of the region.
