Mills Marina in Seaford, Virginia, offers a public boat ramp and access point on Back Creek, a tributary of the Rappahannock River. This is the only boat ramp facility in the immediate area, making it a convenient launch site for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.
The concrete boat ramp provides access to the lower Rappahannock River, which is a tidal, slow-moving waterway in this section. Boaters can explore Back Creek and the surrounding marshlands, as well as access the Rappahannock River mainstream. The water depth at the ramp is maintained at around 5 feet at mean low water, accommodating a variety of small watercraft.
This access point is located near several notable natural and historical attractions, including Colonial National Historical Park and Fort Monroe National Monument. Paddlers and boaters can use this site as a starting point to enjoy the scenic coastal waters and learn about the region's rich history.
