West Point

The West Point boat ramp provides access to the Mattaponi River, a tidal tributary of the York River. This concrete single-lane ramp is suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small trailered boats. The ramp leads directly into the river, which is typically slow-moving and navigable for paddlers and small motor boats.

The site offers a small gravel parking area, though space may be limited. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for typical tidal river conditions, including varying water levels and possible strong currents. The Mattaponi River is generally wide and deep, making it accessible to a range of watercraft. However, users should be aware of any navigational hazards or other river conditions on the day of their visit. This access point can serve as a put-in or take-out location for those exploring the Mattaponi River by kayak, canoe, or small motorized boat.
