What visitors say
Mixed reviewsSmithville Bridge Boat Ramp offers easy water access and is a quiet location popular for crabbing and kayaking, with convenient parking directly at the ramp. Parking is limited and can become congested, and the lot is prone to flooding at high tide. The ramp provides scenic views and good wildlife viewing opportunities, though some visitors find it less special than expected.
