Scott’s Ford Fishing Pier

Scotts Ford Road, Elkins, WV 26241

Scott’s Ford Fishing Pier is located close to the downtown Elkins area. Situated directly on the backwaters of the Tygart Valley River, Scott’s Ford is the only ADA accessible access point for recreation activities such as boating, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. On spring and summer weekends, the gravel parking lot is frequently full. Some parts of the Tygart River are shallow so boating restrictions are limited to small boats with electric motors only.

There are designated handicap parking spaces and a paved ramp leading to the ADA accessible platform.

Randolph County is a premier destination for outdoor recreation in West Virginia. As the headquarters of the Monongahela National Forest, it offers easy access to the wide array of fishing, camping, and hiking available in surrounding areas.
