Located in Georgetown on the eastern bank of the St. Johns River in Putnam County, this boat ramp provides convenient access to a scenic section of the St. Johns River near Lake George. The ramp accommodates kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats, making it a versatile launching point for paddlers exploring the northern reaches of this major Florida waterway. This access point is particularly valuable as it serves as the gateway to Drayton Island, which has limited public access options.
Paddlers using this ramp should be prepared for the St. Johns River's characteristics—a slow-moving, relatively wide freshwater system with gentle flow. The area is suitable for recreational paddling, fishing, and wildlife viewing, with opportunities to explore both the main river channel and nearby coves. Before launching, check current conditions and follow river-friendly practices by properly disposing of waste and using designated pumpout stations where available.
Two nearby campgrounds—Lake Delancy West and Hopkins Prairie—offer overnight lodging within 10 miles, making this an excellent base for multi-day paddling trips.
