Duck Boat Ramp offers a concrete ramp with steps and a boat slide for launching small boats like canoes and kayaks on the Elk River, with approximately 15 parking spots available on a gravel lot.

Located a quarter mile south of the Clay-Braxton county line near the northern terminus of the Elk River Trail, it provides access to a series of shallow shoals ideal for paddling during normal summer flow.

Note that the steep concrete/timber slide makes kayak entry difficult; the nearby Tate Creek access 0. 8 miles upstream may offer easier river entry.
