**Facility Overview**
George English Park offers a well-maintained two-lane boat ramp providing convenient access to the Middle River and Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale. The newly renovated ramps can accommodate vessels with up to 10 feet 3 inches of vertical clearance, making them suitable for most kayaks, canoes, and recreational boats. The 19.7-acre park is easily accessible from nearby communities including Lake Ridge, Lazy Lake, and Oakland Park.
**Paddling Opportunities**
From this launch point, paddlers can explore the scenic Middle River as it flows through Fort Lauderdale toward the Atlantic Ocean, or venture directly onto the Intracoastal Waterway. The waterway is popular with both recreational paddlers and anglers, offering access to diverse fishing locations. Port Everglades Inlet is approximately 5 miles away by water. The park also offers amenities beyond paddling, including fishing access, walking trails, playgrounds, and tennis courts, making it a good destination for families.
