However, I can provide some general information about boat ramps in the area. Boat ramps can vary in size and type, from small concrete ramps to larger, multi-lane ramps with docks and amenities. The width of the boat ramp will depend on its size and usage.
The body of water that a boat ramp services can also vary. In New Hanover County, there are several bodies of water that are commonly used for boating, including the Cape Fear River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and various lakes and ponds.
Regarding what kind of craft are permitted on the water, this will depend on local regulations and restrictions. Typically, boat ramps will have signs or information posted indicating what types of boats are allowed on the water, such as motorized boats, sailboats, or kayaks. It is always important to check local rules and regulations before launching any watercraft.
In summary, while specific information about the Sutton Lake Road 399 boat ramp was unavailable, boat ramps in the area can vary in size and type, service different bodies of water, and have specific restrictions regarding the types of watercraft allowed.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch

- 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.
