What visitors say
Mixed reviewsButler Tract Boat Ramp offers a peaceful, scenic setting ideal for kayaking and fishing in brackish water, located away from the city in a natural park setting. The cement ramp is steep and slippery at the bottom, which can make launching and landing challenging, and the facility lacks bathrooms. Access to Chuckatuck Creek through the levee breach is restricted by signage, limiting fishing opportunities in some areas.
