Wappoo Cut Boat Ramp
The Wappoo Cut Boat Ramp is a two-lane ramp that provides access to the Wappoo Creek and the Ashley River. It is a concrete boat ramp that is approximately 30 feet wide, which can accommodate a variety of watercraft. This ramp has a maximum recommended boat size of 20 feet, and a maximum weight capacity of 4,000 pounds.
The Wappoo Cut Boat Ramp is open to the public year-round from dawn to dusk. The boat ramp has a parking area that can accommodate up to 50 vehicles with trailers. Additionally, there is a floating dock available for boaters to use.
According to the latest information available, the Wappoo Cut Boat Ramp permits a variety of watercraft, including fishing boats, kayaks, canoes, and other small watercraft. However, larger boats are not allowed due to the ramp's size limitation. Boaters are advised to follow all safety regulations and guidelines while using the ramp, and to be aware of changing weather and water conditions.

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.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

About Wappoo Cut Boat Ramp
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
