Big Cypress Addition Lands Recreation Access (Alligator Alley Mile 51)

This access point on the L-28 Interceptor Canal offers a convenient parking area and boat ramp along Florida's extensive South Florida Water Management District canal system. Located at mile marker 51 on Interstate 75 in Collier County, the site provides direct access to the L-28 levee roads and adjacent canal waters. The ramp is **accessible from the westbound lane of I-75 only**; eastbound travelers should exit at Exit 49 (Miccosukee Service Plaza) and turn around to access the site.

The facility serves as a practical launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters exploring the L-28 Interceptor Canal. In addition to the boat ramp, the site features multiple trailheads for land-based recreation and access to levee road systems. The canal system in this area is part of the massive SFWMD water management infrastructure, making it suitable for paddlers seeking flat-water exploration through the Big Cypress region. Plan accordingly for the directional I-75 access restrictions when approaching from either direction.
