Milltown Public Boat Ramp

Milltown Public Boat Ramp provides access to the Pasquotank River, a medium-sized river in northeastern North Carolina that flows toward the Atlantic Ocean. The river in this area is characterized by gentle gradients and moderate flow, making it suitable for a variety of watercraft. With an average velocity of 1.53 feet per second and a stream order of 5, the Pasquotank offers relatively stable water conditions for paddling and boating activities. The ramp is located in Shiloh, Camden County, providing convenient access to approximately 42 miles of river between this launch point and the river mouth.

Paddlers should be aware that while the Pasquotank has a modest average gradient of 0.3 feet per mile, conditions can vary seasonally with average flows around 396 cubic feet per second. The river's elevation drops only about 11 feet over its entire 44-mile length, indicating a slow-moving waterway suitable for recreational boating. This public ramp serves as a gateway for exploring the natural areas and wildlife habitat along this northeastern North Carolina waterway.
