Milltail Creek Boat Ramp

Milltail Creek Boat Ramp provides canoe/kayak launch access and parking (including trailer parking) at the end of Milltail Road within Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.

The location serves as a trailhead for paddling trails, including the blue trail (5. 5 miles one-way up Milltail Creek) and yellow trail (4. 0 miles one-way down to Alligator River), with trails marked by color-coded posts.

The refuge is open from sunrise to sunset, and this access point is ideal for both paddlers and anglers seeking to explore the refuge's waterways.
