The Newport Boat Ramp, constructed in 2003, features a two-lane concrete ramp with barrier-free access boarding piers and a canoe-kayak platform, accommodating both human-powered and motorized recreational boats.

The ramp is operated by DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife and serves boaters accessing the Christina River upstream, though vessel size is limited to boats less than 23 feet long and 6 feet tall due to the Upper Shellpot railroad bridge downstream.
