About This Access Site
The Ivanhoe boat ramp provides access to the New River in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. This major river has a total length of over 800 miles and a drainage area exceeding 14,000 square miles, making it a substantial waterway for paddlers and boaters.
The New River is classified as a headwater stream, meaning it originates near the Appalachian Mountains. It has an average gradient of 6.3 feet per mile and an average flow rate over 12,000 cubic feet per second, so paddlers should be prepared for moving water. The boat ramp itself is located within the Jefferson National Forest's Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, providing access to scenic and relatively undeveloped sections of this historic river.
While no additional amenities are listed for the Ivanhoe access point, the nearby Collins Cove Horse Campground offers a reservable camping option for those seeking to explore the area further by boat, kayak, or canoe. Paddlers and boaters should check for any closures or construction projects that may impact access before visiting the Ivanhoe boat ramp.
