Newport Boat Ramp

Newport Boat Ramp is a primitive shoreline access point on the South Fork Shenandoah River located north of Newport on U. S. Route 340, offering a dirt ramp suitable for canoes and kayaks but not recommended for trailers.

This access point serves as a takeout for the Grove Hill to Newport float trip (6 miles) and a launch point for the Newport to Alma section (3 miles), with a notable hydroelectric dam located halfway between Grove Hill and Newport that requires portaging on the right side.
