The boat ramp is a concrete launch ramp that is wide enough to accommodate small boats, kayaks, and canoes. It is also equipped with a parking area that can accommodate several vehicles and boat trailers.
According to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, the Eno River is designated as a "Canoe-in Camping" river, which means that it is suitable for canoes, kayaks, and other non-motorized watercraft. However, some areas of the river may allow motorized watercraft with a maximum horsepower limit of 10.
As for the latest information, it is always best to check with local authorities or the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to verify any updated regulations or restrictions before planning a trip to the area.

- 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.
