Unnamed Ramp

This boat ramp provides access to W. Kerr Scott Reservoir on the Yadkin River in Wilkesboro. The ramp is located at the west end of the Nutbrush Road Bridge and features two concrete launch ramps with docks and ample parking for vehicle and boat trailers. The site includes standard amenities such as restrooms, picnic tables, and benches, making it a convenient starting point for day trips on the reservoir.

The Yadkin River is a substantial waterway (Stream Order 7) with an average flow of 5,226 cubic feet per second and moderate current at 5.71 feet per second. Paddlers should be aware that the average gradient of 16.1 feet per mile creates steady current conditions, particularly downstream. For kayakers and canoeists, the reservoir setting near this access point offers calmer water compared to the main river channel, though conditions vary depending on how far you venture from the dam.

This access area is part of the W. Kerr Scott Reservoir recreation area in the scenic Yadkin River Valley. It's a good option for paddlers seeking motorboat and non-motorized craft access, though conditions can be affected by reservoir operations. Contact NC Wildlife Resources or local management for current information on hours, fees, and any seasonal restrictions.
