The boat ramp at Widewater State Park in Stafford is now open to the public. The ramp area has been improved and is ready for use again after being closed for several months due to a maintenance dredging project.
“I am glad that we were able to dredge the boat ramp area in a timely manner so people can enjoy the park the rest of the season,” Virginia State Park Potomac District Manager Ken Benson said in a news release.
The park opened in 2018 and has been growing steadily ever since. The boat ramp officially opened on July 12, 2023. The following month, on Aug. 16, the paddle craft launch opened.
“The new kayak launch has been the focus for many educational programs and fun gatherings as water accessibility is a key amenity at the park,” said Widewater State Park Manager Paul Anderson. “I am excited that the boat ramp is open again and people can access the park while enjoying water adventures.”
Widewater State Park is located at 101 Widewater State Park Rd., Stafford, VA 22554. Visit the park webpage for more details and upcoming events.
