What visitors say
Mixed reviewsVienna Boat Ramp offers good access to the Nanticoke River with a functional ramp suitable for launching boats and fishing. However, the facility lacks designated parking (requiring street parking nearby), public restrooms, and a promised kayak launch that was not completed during a recent upgrade. The setting is quiet and tranquil, with handicap-accessible parking close to the water.
