Which waters in West Virginia have the most boat launches?
By mapped launch count: Ohio River (19), Kanawha River (15), New River (15), South Branch Potomac River (14) and Greenbrier River (7). Counts are the number of separate ramps on each water, not the number of lanes.
Is there a fee to use boat launches in West Virginia?
Launch fees are set by whoever manages the ramp, and Boating Hubs does not hold fee data for West Virginia yet, so check the managing agency or marina before you tow. Ramps marked semi-private may also require a permit or membership.

Launch data from the USGS National Boat Ramps dataset, released into the public domain (CC0). Confirm ramp conditions, fees, and seasonal access locally before you launch.
