**Location & Access:** Gaston Edwards Park is located at 210 Ivanhoe Road in the Ivanhoe Village neighborhood near downtown Orlando. The park offers a dedicated boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats onto Lake Ivanhoe, one of several connected lakes in the area (including Lake Highland and Lake Formosa).
**Amenities & Facilities:** This is a well-developed park facility with more than just water access—paddlers and boaters will find a playground, picnic pavilion, and exercise stations along scenic paths. The park is a popular local spot that provides convenient access to paddle on Lake Ivanhoe without traveling far from the city. Note that some paddlers also launch directly from the shore when the main boat ramp is busy.
**Best For:** This site works well for recreational paddling, small boat launching, and casual water activities. Given its location on a lake system near urban Orlando, expect calm, flat-water conditions suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and SUP paddling. It's an ideal choice for paddlers seeking a close-to-home launch point with park amenities.
