The Hunts Bluff boat ramp provides public access to the Black River in Bladen County, North Carolina. This access point is maintained by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
The Black River is a major waterway, stretching over 884 miles with an average flow of over 10,500 cubic feet per second. It has a relatively steep gradient of 8.2 feet per mile. This makes it a popular destination for experienced kayakers, canoeists, and small powerboaters looking to navigate the river's swift current and varied terrain.
The Hunts Bluff ramp is located off Hunts Bluff Road, near the Hunts Bluff Campground. It provides a paved boat launch suitable for trailered vessels. Paddlers and small boaters can conveniently access the river from this public entry point. No fees are charged to use the Hunts Bluff ramp. Visitors should use caution when launching and be prepared for the Black River's powerful flow and changing conditions.
