City of Cape Coral - 2119 Northeast 12th Avenue (Primitive)

This primitive boat ramp provides access to the Heather Stone Canal within Cape Coral's extensive canal system. As a freshwater access point, expect a basic grass lot with a gravel or dirt ramp rather than improved concrete facilities. Parking is minimal, and there are no public amenities on site, so plan accordingly before launching. This location is best suited for paddlers and small boat operators exploring the local canal network.

The Heather Stone Canal connects to the broader Cape Coral Canal System, offering opportunities to explore the region's mangrove-lined waterways and proximity to the Matlacha Pass and Caloosahatchee National Wildlife Refuges. Note that if you want to access the Caloosahatchee River or open Gulf waters, you'll need to check the canal system's bridge heights and determine if this location can reach those areas via the canal network. Nearby improved ramps with better facilities, parking, and Gulf access may be available elsewhere in Cape Coral if this primitive location doesn't meet your needs.
