Robeson Creek Boat Ramp provides access to the Haw River arm of B. Everett Jordan Lake, a major recreation area in central North Carolina. This is a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring the lower Haw River and Jordan Lake. The ramp is part of the Jordan Lake State Recreation Area and is located near Pittsboro in Chatham County. Look for signage on Hanks Chapel Road to locate the facility; canoe access is available on the left side of the road before the boat ramp entrance.
The Haw River is a large, stable waterway (Stream Order 7) with an average flow of 1,717 cubic feet per second and moderate gradient of 8 feet per mile, making it suitable for various paddling skill levels depending on water conditions. This section near the ramp offers fishing opportunities for catfish, largemouth bass, sunfish, and white bass. The ramp provides access both upstream and downstream—paddlers can explore calmer lake waters upstream or navigate the S-curves of the river toward the dam downstream. A nearby campground, Crosswinds Campgrounds, is located within 10 miles if you're planning an overnight trip.
