Newport Boat Ramp Access
Newport Boat Ramp Access
Newport Boat Ramp Access is a primitive dirt shoreline access point on the South Fork Shenandoah River located northeast of Shenandoah on US Route 340, managed by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources.
This access point is not suitable for trailers and serves as a takeout location for paddlers floating the Grove Hill to Newport section of the river, which features several large pools ideal for fishing.
The site is located just downstream from the Newport hydroelectric dam, which requires portaging on the right side when traveling upstream.
