Boat Ramp To Be Replaced



Thanks to my "roving reporter," otherwise known as Skip, I picked up a tip this morning I otherwise probably wouldn't have heard about for a while. Seems Skip had been out to Pungo Ferry Landing Park and found a sign posted with the following statement:

Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation is replacing the boat ramp at Pungo Ferry Landing Park, starting on Oct. 30. The project should take approximately 90 days to complete, and while the boat ramp, mooring areas, and parking lot will be closed, the rest of the park area will remain open for use. Parking access will be limited to the roadway.

During this period of closure, visitors may utilize the launch at Munden Point Park ($8 fee) as an alternative to access the North Landing River. For questions regarding this project, please contact Rob MacPherson at 757-385-1268.

I'm only guessing, but this project likely will eliminate a couple of other signs I recently saw posted at the ramp, noting that it primarily was designed for use by boats "up to 16 feet in length" and cautioning against "power loading."
