The Philippi Boat Ramp provides public access to the Tygart Valley River via a concrete ramp located beneath the historic Philippi Covered Bridge, with a large parking area and picnic table available.

The gravel road down to the ramp is a single lane and best suited for small or non-motorized boats. This access point is well-maintained and easily accessible for all vehicles, making it ideal for kayakers and paddlers exploring the scenic Tygart River.
