The Elkton boat ramp provides access to the South Fork Shenandoah River, a scenic, winding waterway popular with paddlers and anglers. The ramp is located just off Route 623, near the Rockingham County Landfill.
This section of the river is relatively shallow, with riffles and rocky areas that require caution, making it best suited for canoes and kayaks. The ramp can accommodate small motorized boats, but access is limited to non-motorized craft only. Paddlers should plan for a 6.5 mile float down to the next access point at Shenandoah Landing.
Nearby recreational options include the nearby Shenandoah National Park, which offers miles of hiking trails and stunning mountain vistas. A campground is located about 10 miles away at Lewis Mountain. Anglers will find ample opportunities to cast for smallmouth bass, sunfish, and other species in the South Fork Shenandoah River.
