Vanderzanden is a steep wooden boat slide on the Wilson River with rails on both sides, designed for launching drift boats directly into deep, fast-moving water.

This is an extreme-difficulty access point best attempted with experienced users; boats with oarlock side heights under 28" must be lowered bow-first to prevent swamping, and a minimum 3/8" diameter rope (preferably 1") of at least 100 feet is essential for safe operation.
