Depot Creek Public Boat Ramp (Aka Jones Landing)

Located off Jones Homestead Road near U.S. Highway 98 in Port St. Joe, this public boat ramp provides access to Depot Creek and Lake Wimico in Gulf County. The ramp is convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore this coastal waterway system. Before visiting, check locally about ramp conditions, as temporary closures can occur due to weather, maintenance, or special events.

The area offers excellent recreational opportunities, particularly for fishing enthusiasts. Nearby paddlers will find the St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge—comprising approximately 12,492 acres across two islands and mainland tracts—worth exploring for wildlife viewing and water-based activities. The refuge's protected waters make it a popular destination for inshore fishing and paddling. As with any unfamiliar access point, it's wise to contact local authorities or check current conditions before making the trip to ensure the ramp is open and operational.
