The actual ramp is circled in Red,  The Parking area is Grass (inside orange circle) where you can pull up to or back up to the fence(yellow)

One of the Best places to fish is upstream at the mouth of the Little river which is ~3 miles up.

Here is a shot of where  the Little River enters the Neuse River.  The Little River being a Blackwater stream usually runs clearer than the Neuse River so there is usually a noticable "mudline" which can be seen in this aerial shot. 

In March of 2023 I made a trip up to the mouth of the Little River in search of Shad.  We caught a few Hickory Shad  in  this video and you can see the river at the mouth of the Little plus in this video I go into more detail with pictures and marking the best places to fish for Shad.
