Silver-Line Park
River access and a boardwalk through the marsh
About this park
A riverfront park in Woodfin with a wide paved boat ramp, a wooden boardwalk over the wetland, and open grass along the French Broad. Dogs walk on leash and the river access is why most people come. Post-flood repairs were still underway in mid-2026, though the playground, shelter, and paths are open.
Amenities
Silver-Line Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers single out the boardwalk through the wetland and the covered shelter with grills. The river frontage is wide enough that a dog can get in the water well clear of the boat traffic.
A family park first. Playground traffic owns the weekends, and dog walkers tend to work the marsh end.

Before you go
The boat ramp end fills with kayak and tube shuttles on summer weekends while the marsh boardwalk stays quiet. Aim for the far side if you want an uneventful walk.
Frequently asked
- Can dogs go in the river here?
- Yes. There is boat and swimming access off the ramp, with enough frontage to find a spot away from the launch.
- Is it fenced or off leash?
- Neither. The park is open riverfront and leashes are the rule, so bring a long line if your dog wants water time.
- Is there shade?
- Some. A covered picnic shelter and grills sit near the parking, and the boardwalk section runs through trees.
- Is the park still under construction?
- Partly. A mid-2026 review describes revitalization work continuing after the storm damage, with the playground, river access, and paths open.
