The New Hope Boat Ramp provides easy access to the Haw River, part of the larger Jordan River system. This moderately-sized river is popular with kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. The ramp itself is in good condition and can accommodate a variety of watercraft, even in high or low water.
Nearby, the B. Everett Jordan Lake offers additional boating and recreation opportunities. Within 10 miles, Crosswinds Campgrounds provides camping options for those looking to spend more time on the water. The New Hope access area also features hiking loops and short hike-in backpack camping, making it a convenient spot for a range of outdoor activities.
While specific details on hours or fees are unavailable, the New Hope Boat Ramp is part of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's network of public, free boating access areas. Paddlers, boaters, and anglers can expect a well-maintained site to launch from and enjoy the scenic Haw River.
