Weirton Marina provides boat ramp access to the Ohio River in Weirton, West Virginia, located on the left bank of the river in Brooke County. This access point serves paddlers, canoeists, and motorboat operators looking to launch into the New Cumberland Pool section of the Ohio River. The nearby New Cumberland Lock and Dam features a modern 1,200- by 110-foot main chamber, which is important to note if you're planning longer river trips, as tow traffic moves through this structure regularly.
The marina is situated in an area with multiple access points along this section of the Ohio River. Nearby alternative ramps include options in Ohio (Newburg and Steubenville) and West Virginia (Wellsburg), giving paddlers and boaters flexibility in planning their trips. The Ohio River in this region is a substantial waterway suitable for various craft, though paddlers should be aware of commercial traffic from barge tows navigating through the lock system. Check current river conditions and water levels before launching, and be prepared for the effects of dam operations on water flow.
