Located 6 miles west of I-75 in North Naples, Collier County, this boat ramp provides convenient access to Water Turkey Bay and the scenic Cocohatchee River estuary. The ramp empties into Water Turkey Bay via the South Channel, offering paddlers multiple route options: explore the narrow mangrove channels for roughly a mile to reach the Cocohatchee River, continue east along the river itself, head north through channels to Estero Bay, or paddle west toward the Gulf of Mexico. Most small vessels find the launch area accessible, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and recreational boats.
This is an excellent location for paddlers seeking to explore delicate natural estuaries and mangrove environments. The area connects multiple waterways, allowing for flexible trip planning depending on your skill level and interests. The park amenities and barrier island location offer a scenic paddling experience on Florida's southwest Gulf Coast.
