The Inskeep Boat ramp is one of the main launching sites for Shenandoah River Outfitters as the starting point for many of their river trips. Kayaking the river downstream from her is a good way to find Yellow-throated and Prothonotary Warblers, Bald Eagle, Osprey, and breeding Common Merganser in the spring and summer. The boat ramp is also a good vantage point to scan the river for waterfowl during the winter. During cold winters the stretch of river upstream from the bridge is one of the last spots to freeze so ducks can be concentrated there, uncommon species such as Northern Pintail and Redhead have been recorded at these times. The old low water bridge still remains beneath the new much higher bridge and provided water levels are not too high walking out on the bridge provides the best viewing of birds on the river.
Accessibility: This public boat ramp maintained by VDGIF is open dawn to dusk.
