About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Rosedale Beach is a state-operated boat ramp located on Indian River Bay near Millsboro in Sussex County, Delaware. The ramp is designated for car-top boats and is located approximately 3 miles east of Millsboro on Delaware Route 24. The site features a dedicated parking lot and a fishing/crabbing pier.

**Important Requirements:** A valid Delaware state boat ramp sticker is required to launch at this facility. Marine Police periodically patrol the area, so ensure you have the appropriate permit before putting in. The ramp occasionally closes for maintenance, so it's advisable to check ahead for any temporary closures before visiting.

**What to Expect:** Indian River Bay offers a sheltered waterway suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small boats. The area is popular with recreational paddlers and anglers. Given the bay's protected nature and proximity to fishing grounds, expect moderate boat traffic, particularly during peak seasons. This is a good access point for exploring the Indian River estuary system.
