Big Chimney Boat Ramp

Big Chimney Boat Ramp is a paved access point on the Elk River with approximately 8 parking spaces and a concrete ramp that terminates at a natural gravel bar, offering easy river access for both kayaks and small boats.

Located off Indian Creek Road near the Big Chimney Bridge in Kanawha County, this fenced facility provides unrestricted access and includes handicap parking, though river access itself is not handicap accessible.

The ramp was built on land donated by the Slack family and provides access to a previously unreachable stretch of the lower Elk River.
