Shenandoah River Boat Ramp Rt 17/50

Featured Replies

Hi guys, new to the site but not new to fishing!

We have a bass tracker jet drive we like to take out on the upper potomac. I was on route 17/50 a couple weeks ago and saw a public boat ramp sign off the Shenandoah. Has anyone used it? Can we launch a boat with a trailer there? concert or mud? We can not carry this boat.

You can launch a boat there - but it gets pretty shallow as summer goes on. The ramp is really steep at the top. However, when you get the bottom it flattens out, so if the water is low, it's tough to get a boat off the trailer.

There's another ramp at the Route 7 bridge that is a bit deeper. You can run a bit further up too (although I'm relatively new to my jet boat - so I'm a bit cautious still!).

Enjoy the 'Doah.
