What visitors say
Mostly positiveBrickyard Landing features a single-lane paved boat ramp (with some surface wear), a well-maintained dock, and a separate fishing dock, with gravel and grass parking for approximately 20 vehicles with trailers. The ramp becomes shallow at low tide and can be challenging for solo launching due to tidal currents and boat traffic, though it's a popular spot for local boaters and bank fishermen. The park is well-maintained by volunteers and offers good kayaking and fishing opportunities on the river.
