The Dan River is a popular destination for fishing, kayaking, and tubing. The boat ramp allows for small boats and canoes to be launched into the river. The website does not specify any restrictions on the type of craft that can be launched, but it is likely that larger boats and motorized watercraft are not permitted due to the size and speed of the river.
Overall, the Pine Hall Road boat ramp appears to be a well-maintained and accessible launch point for recreational activities on the Dan River.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

About Pine Hall Road 2547-2793, Walnut Cove
Can I launch a motorboat here?

Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
