I am new to fishing from a boat, been fishing with my kids from shore and piers for years.  I am looking to launch a 19' bass boat on the Rappahannock, Live near F'burg, wondering if any of you know a good place to launch from.  Thanks in advance.

Not knowing the full ins and outs of where I can and cannot put a boat, will I have any trouble going down river.  I know that they brought down embry dam, and water levels fluctuate, just nervous taking my used but new to me boat down river.  Thanks for all your help with this and my kids thank you as well, it's just as much fun for them as it is for me.

Fredericksburg area Rappahannock river launching access for your boat

The city docks there are two ramps.  It can get crowded there on weekends.

Little fall boat ramp which is located off of Rt 3 in Stafford, it’s a few miles down river.  There is one ramp and less it is crowded.  I also find it easier to back a boat trailer there than the city docks.

Little falls

4-winds golf course in Caroline County, there is a fee, I’m not sure how much

Hopyard landing was built a few years ago.  It’s a about a 20 minute drive from Fredericksburg. I would recommend this ramp if you are planning on going farther down river to save gas.

Hicks landing in Caroline County, I think there is a $10 fee to use.

I would not recommend taking your bass boat any farther up river than the Rail road bridge.  If it is high tide you could make up to the RT 1 Bridge which is the fall line, there is too many rocks and there is a strong current beyond that point.  If the tide is low you might have trouble getting past the rail road bridge, it is very shallow there.
