Aucilla River Boat Ramp at Mandalay (Williams Fish Camp Landing)

The Aucilla River Boat Ramp at Mandalay, located on County Road 690/691 near Lamont in Taylor County, provides public access to the lower Aucilla River. This government-owned facility is a stand-alone boat ramp that serves kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to explore this scenic river system. The ramp provides convenient launching access for paddlers interested in exploring the lower river's tidal estuary areas.

This access point is well-positioned for those planning to paddle downstream toward the Aucilla River's coastal reaches and the nearby St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1931 as a premier habitat for migratory birds and native wildlife. The location offers good opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature-based paddling in a protected area. Before visiting, paddlers should confirm current conditions and any specific regulations for the lower Aucilla River system, as tidal influences and seasonal water levels can affect paddling conditions in this coastal region.
