Huntington Park Ramp James River VA

 27 Jun 22:

Did a Ramp Recon at Huntington Park, Newport News, VA on the James River. Nice wide ramps and floating docks. Plenty of parking. A few tacks, oars or a motor would be required to maneuver clear of the jetty and out of the tight channel. Then it's clear out to the James River. Large traffic will be in the channel on their way to go under the JRB lift bridge.  The 415 foot lift spans over the shipping channel, with a clearance of 145 ft when raised and  59.7 ft when lowered, barely enough room to get the pram underneath...


Upstream.


Downstream. JRB Lift in the distance.



Nice public beach next door.


Plenty of parking for our new trailer...oops, that was supposed to be a surprise.
