About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Nob's Boat Ramp is located at 534 Old Avalon Boulevard in Avalon, Cape May County, and provides public access to South Channel. The ramp features a concrete launch surface with adequate water depth at low tide, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. For more information or questions about conditions, contact 609-967-0346.

**Paddling Opportunities:** From this launch, paddlers can explore the scenic South Channel and connect to the Great Egg Harbor River system, both of which are rich in natural and historical significance. The area offers opportunities to observe diverse wildlife, particularly migratory birds and waterfowl, especially when paddling near the nearby Cape May National Wildlife Refuge. The region also has historical interest, as these waters once sheltered privateers during the American Revolution.

**Planning Your Visit:** This is a straightforward access point ideal for day trips on protected waters. Plan your launch timing around tidal conditions, as the ramp is noted for adequate depth at low tide. Paddlers should be prepared for typical tidal estuary conditions and should check current water conditions before heading out.
