Cliff Stephens Park offers a primitive boat ramp providing access to Alligator Creek and Tampa Bay in Clearwater. This 44-acre county park is located at 600 Fairwood Avenue and serves as a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The ramp provides direct water access to the Tampa Bay area, making it suitable for paddlers interested in exploring coastal and estuarine waters.
Beyond water access, the park offers ample amenities including parking, picnic areas, a fishing pier, and multi-use trails for hiking and biking. The park is managed by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and also features playgrounds, basketball courts, and other recreational facilities. The primitive nature of the ramp suggests minimal facilities, so paddlers should come prepared with any necessary gear or supplies before launching.
