About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** Edrehi Avenue Boat Ramp is a public launch facility located in Okaloosa County near Niceville, providing access to Rocky Bayou and Choctawhatchee Bay. The ramp is situated on a short slough just west of the Choctawhatchee River, making it convenient for paddlers and boaters heading into the broader bay system.

**Facilities & Launch Details:** This is a single-lane concrete boat ramp, suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small to medium motorboats. The facility serves as a straightforward launch point without extensive amenities, so visitors should plan accordingly. From here, paddlers can explore the calm waters of Rocky Bayou or venture into Choctawhatchee Bay—excellent options for both recreational kayakers and anglers.

**Practical Tips:** This ramp is ideal for those looking to access the quieter bayou waters rather than open gulf conditions. It's one of several public access points in the Fort Walton Beach and Niceville area, so check current conditions and tide levels before launching. The protected bayou environment makes it a good choice for paddlers seeking sheltered paddling versus more exposed bay or gulf waters.
