Deaton Bridge Boat Ramp

This improved boat ramp with a single-lane paved road is located just north of the Blackwater River State Park entrance, about a mile before Deaton Bridge, and serves as an access point for the 31-mile designated Blackwater River Paddling Trail.

The ramp has limited parking and is not recommended for overnight vehicle storage. Note that the river is not navigable below Deaton Bridge, so this ramp is best used as a takeout point rather than a launch site.
