Melrose Landing

Melrose Landing is a public boat ramp located on W Melrose Lndg W in Little Plymouth, Virginia, within Middlesex County along the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

No posted hours were found for this ramp, so boaters should plan for typical daylight access. It's managed as part of Virginia's public boating access program, and any permit or fee details aren't listed online, so check with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources before launching if you want confirmation.

The facility offers basic launch access with room for trailer parking, though detailed amenities like restrooms or docks aren't documented for this site. It sits at approximately 37.6373° N, -76.8548° W, giving direct access to the Dragon Run/Piankatank River watershed.

The surrounding waters connect to the Piankatank River system, known for crabbing, largemouth bass, and striped bass fishing, as well as quiet paddling routes through marsh and tidal creek habitat. The area remains rural and undeveloped, appealing to anglers seeking less crowded put-ins than the main Chesapeake tributaries.

Best suited for: Local anglers, small boat and kayak owners, and those looking for a low-traffic launch point away from busier Middlesex County marinas.
