Railroad Flat Boat Ramp serves as a take-out location for whitewater rafting and kayaking trips on the Merced River, located 4. 5 miles downstream from the Briceburg Suspension Bridge along Briceburg River Road.

The ramp provides access to the scenic Merced River Recreation Area and is situated near Railroad Flat Campground, which offers basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and food storage lockers.

Note that trailers and RVs over 18 feet are not recommended for crossing the suspension bridge approach, and swimming is only recommended when river flow is below 700 cubic feet per second.
