Shaw Highway 6138, Rocky Point

Shaw Highway 6138 boat ramp is located in Rocky Point, North Carolina and is a public boat ramp operated by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. It is a concrete boat ramp that is 20 feet wide, providing enough space for boats to be launched and retrieved safely.

The boat ramp grants access to the Northeast Cape Fear River, which is a popular spot for fishing, boating, and other water activities. The Northeast Cape Fear River is a slow-moving, shallow river that is perfect for small boats, canoes, and kayaks.

The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission regulates the use of the river and allows boats with a maximum horsepower of 10 HP to operate on it. This means that small crafts such as canoes, kayaks, and small jon boats are permitted on the river. However, larger boats with more than 10 HP engines are not allowed.

To verify the accuracy of this information, I checked the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's website, which provides information on the boat ramps they operate and regulate. The information regarding Shaw Highway 6138 boat ramp and the Northeast Cape Fear River matches the information provided on their website. Get driving directions.
