Wrights Creek

The Wrights Creek boat ramp and access site provides a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats to explore the upper reaches of Wrights Creek in Beaufort County, North Carolina. Wrights Creek is a large river system, over 130 miles long, with an average flow of around 260 cubic feet per second.

The access site features a concrete boat ramp that can accommodate trailered watercraft. Parking is available on-site. While specific hours and fees are not readily available, the site is likely open to the public for general use. Paddlers and boaters should be aware that Wrights Creek has a relatively steep gradient of around 45 feet per mile, so the upper sections may have faster currents and potential obstacles.

For those seeking additional outdoor recreation in the area, the nearby Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge offers extensive coastal marshes and wilderness areas to explore by boat. Boaters and anglers should check for any applicable regulations or restrictions when using the Wrights Creek access point and surrounding waterways.
