Bob George Park Public Boat Ramp

**Location & Access:** Bob George Park offers a public boat ramp in Panama City providing access to Watson Bayou and Saint Andrew Bay. The ramp features a main concrete launch suitable for small to medium recreational boats, kayaks, and canoes. The site is conveniently located near downtown Panama City, making it accessible for both day trips and longer paddling adventures.

**Paddling Opportunities:** This launch provides access to Watson Bayou's calm waters and the broader waters of Saint Andrew Bay, making it ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking for protected paddling, exploration, or fishing. The bay offers a mix of shallow, sheltered areas and open water depending on your direction of travel. Paddlers can explore the bayou system or venture into the bay depending on conditions and experience level.

**Practical Tips:** Arrive early for optimal parking and ramp availability, especially during peak season. The concrete ramp is well-maintained for launching, but be aware of tidal changes in this coastal environment which can affect water depth and currents. Check local weather and bay conditions before heading out, and come prepared with appropriate safety equipment and tide information for your chosen paddling route.
