About this dataset

This feature layer contains public access sites to water in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Each point indicates a location where the people can access the water via a boat ramp, kayak/canoe launch, fishing pier, bank fishing, beach (swimming), observation deck, boardwalk, or nature trails.

This data was collected during the development of the Regional Strategic Plan for Public Access to Waterways by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission. It is also the basis for a web mapping application promoting public access, which is available at FishSwimPlay.com.

The sites are updated on an on-going basis as new information is available. Last updated January 2024.
