This is the only public direct-access boat ramp to Tulls Bay and Currituck Sound in the Moyock area, making it a key access point for exploring this region. **Note:** Access restrictions apply—the ramp is reserved for Tull's Bay Colony property owners and their families only, with the property owner required to be present during use.
**Water Conditions:** The Northwest River/Tull Bay Creek is a medium-sized river (Stream Order 4) with extremely gentle characteristics ideal for paddlers. The waterway stretches 23.29 miles with only 2 feet of total elevation drop, resulting in a minimal average gradient of 0.1 ft/mile and slow average velocity of 0.99 ft/second. These calm, slow-moving conditions are excellent for kayaking and canoeing. Average flows of 138.50 cubic feet per second indicate stable water levels suitable for recreational paddling.
**Nearby Recreation:** The ramp provides access to waters near two significant wildlife refuges—Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge and Currituck National Wildlife Refuge—offering opportunities to observe coastal wildlife and barrier island ecosystems along North Carolina's northern Outer Banks region.
