Crofton Boat Ramp is an excellent public access point on the Rivanna River managed by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, featuring a well-maintained boat launch on South Boston Road with good parking availability.

The ramp serves as an ideal starting point for paddling trips and is part of a scenic 6. 5-mile novice-level paddle route to Palmyra with one Class I-II rapid.

The location offers access to historically significant sites including the ruins of the 1833-34 Crofton Lock and Dam, making it popular with both recreational paddlers and history enthusiasts.
