Penrose Boat Ramp is a vehicle-accessible concrete ramp with a floating dock located at river mile 30. 8 on the French Broad River, offering convenient trailer parking for 20-25 vehicles.

The access area includes informational signage and is managed by NC Wildlife Resources Commission, making it a practical put-in or take-out point for paddlers and anglers.

Future improvements planned for the site include restroom facilities, bike/boat racks, picnic tables, and trash receptacles.
