This little sliver of land sits within the boundaries of the Department of Wildlife Resource’s Mattaponi WMA, however it appears not to be included within the WMA. Since the ramp area is surrounded by the WMA, one could presumably access that property from here.
The habitat is mostly mature loblolly pine, but with a relatively dense understory. The Mattaponi River is quite close (as is Paige Road), as the entire parking area probably measures under an acre. Species associated with these tall pines and rivers are expected to be found here. Summer Tanager, Prothonotary Warbler, Northern Parula, woodland flycatchers, woodpeckers, Barred Owl, and Eastern Screech-Owl are reasonably (and seasonally) expected.
The ramp area itself is small, and only small electric-motored boats, canoes, or kayaks are likely to be launched here. There is a parking area that could comfortably hold maybe a dozen vehicles. The area is also accessed by anglers traveling on foot.
