Poyners Road

Poyners Road Boat Ramp provides public access to Tull Creek and Cowells Creek in the Atlantic Coastal Plain near Sligo in Currituck County. Located 1.3 miles north of the Caratoke Highway and Poyners Road intersection in Moyock, this ramp serves as a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats exploring the local waterways. The area is characterized by the flat, low-gradient terrain typical of North Carolina's coastal plain.

This access point is ideally positioned for paddlers interested in exploring the region's protected natural areas. The nearby Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge and Currituck National Wildlife Refuge offer opportunities to observe coastal wildlife and enjoy pristine maritime habitats. These protected areas make the ramp particularly valuable for naturalists and birdwatchers paddling the connected creek system. Before launching, paddlers should check current conditions and any seasonal access restrictions that may apply to the wildlife refuges.
