About This Access Site
Located in Alford, Jackson County, the City Square boat ramp provides public access to Compass Lake. This facility is suitable for motorboats and is part of a network of regional access points in the area. Paddlers should note that while this is a traditional boat ramp, nearby alternatives like the Hinson Conservation and Recreation Area offer dedicated canoe and kayak access sites if you prefer a paddle-craft-only facility.

Compass Lake is a popular destination in the Florida Panhandle for recreational boating, paddling, and fishing. Before launching, check current conditions and water levels, as these can affect navigation. For the most up-to-date information on facility status, maintenance schedules, or any access changes, contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Boating and Waterways Section at BoatRamps@MyFWC.com.
