Nice public boat ramp on the Warwick River. Quick access to the James River. The Waterway is no longer marked by Channel markers so you do need to watch where you go, there are several underwater obstacles most are marked with polls. It does have several shallow spots at low tide. the boat ramp has easy access so you can launch 2 boat at a time. Plenty of trailer parking.
A wonderful little park to take the kids for a nature walk or just a quiet private walk by yourself or with a friend. The walking path is very flat and wheel chair accessible. It is about 1/2 mile long and includes tree-lined paths and boardwalks. The boat launch is well made and there is lots of parking for cars, trucks, and trailers.
We recently visited here for the first time. We enjoyed the short nature walk, with bridges and boardwalks over the swamp lands. I'm not sure that I would feel comfortable visiting by myself, there were some sketchy cars coming in and out of the park the entire time we were there.
What makes Denbigh Park so great is that you get a big park experience in a small but cozy area. It has a great fishing pier that normally closes at 10 pm. The pier and observation area is also great for catching sunsets. The susets on the side overlooking the water which is perfect for photographers novice through pro. Denbigh Parks other kee feature is the mini trail. Short but with bridges and curvey, flat, loose gravel trails. Dog clean-up stations are also on the trail. The park offers no permanent restrooms available but a portable unit is available in the large parking lot. If you have watercraft, a boat ramp is on the park grounds.
I recommend going in the morning if you’re out to fish on the pier as some days can get pretty filled. The view is beautiful wherever you look. The trail is also super cool if you’re into that— you get a view of the marshes and the river as you hike in. Do bring some bug spray if you plan on staying long as mosquitoes are rampant. Definitely check this place out for some nature views, it won’t disappoint.
Boat ramp, docks, has a small walk trail. Good place to go fishing, to go watch the sunset, or just to feel like your not in a city. My boys and I have been coming here for years to watch the sunset.
The small trail is perfect for ppl just getting into exercise walking. Its a short trail but its very relaxing just hanging out on the bridges.... i hang out for a minute to let go of the daily stress looking over the almost untouched land. love my Sunday walks here.
