What visitors say
Mixed reviewsHillsboro Boat Access is a quiet, uncrowded ramp suitable for kayaks and smaller boats, with a couple of picnic tables and shade trees for relaxation. The ramp condition depends heavily on tides—it works well at high tide but becomes slippery at low tide due to pavers. Parking is limited, and there is a county fee that must be paid in person rather than online.
