Cotton Bridge Park offers an improved, hand-launch only boat ramp on the west side of the Blackwater River at mile 11 of the designated paddling trail.

The small county park features amenities including a playground, pavilions, picnic tables, restrooms, and a large sandbar beach area; note that gates close one hour after sunset.

This is a popular access point for canoe and kayak paddlers on the beginner-friendly 31-mile Blackwater River Paddling Trail.
