Doe Run boat ramp

Doe Run boat ramp provides public access to the Smith River behind Martinsville Dam, featuring convenient parking and calm water ideal for beginners.

The rustic entrance ramp requires awareness of rapidly changing water levels due to dam releases and cold year-round temperatures; paddlers should check USGS water gauges and call (276) 629-2432 for the Philpott generation schedule before visiting.
