Collier Boulevard Boating Park

Located on Collier Boulevard just north of the Marco Island bridge, Collier Boulevard Boating Park is one of Collier County's most popular public water access points for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats into Addison Bay. The facility features two launching ramps with a double-wide lane, a courtesy dock, and 80 paved boat trailer parking spaces. Portable toilets are available on-site. The park tends to get crowded during peak season (January–April), so arriving early is recommended.

From this access point, paddlers can explore the pristine mangrove-fringed waterways and estuarine environment of nearby Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The calm, protected waters of Addison Bay make this an excellent launching spot for both beginner and experienced paddlers seeking to explore the area's shallow bays, mangrove passages, and wildlife viewing opportunities. The recently improved facilities, including new timber pilings and a floating dock, provide safe and reliable water access.
