About This Access Site
Virginia Point Park in Kenova offers a well-developed public access point to the Big Sandy River. The facility features a double-lane concrete boat ramp with a courtesy pier, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels. Additional amenities include a 150-foot fishing pier, large paved parking lot, and restrooms, providing convenient support for a day on the water.

The Big Sandy River in this region offers diverse paddling opportunities for both recreational and fishing-focused boaters. The access point is well-maintained by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, which oversees more than 500 public boating sites across the state. Paddlers should note that conditions and water levels can vary seasonally, so checking current river conditions before launching is recommended. The proximity to Beech Fork Lake also provides alternative recreation options for the area.
