Heagy Burry - Orange Lake Boat Ramp Park

Located in north Marion County, Heagy Burry is the primary public boat ramp providing reliable access to Orange Lake, particularly during low water conditions when other launch points may become unusable. This makes it an essential access point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring the lake year-round. The facility serves as a popular hub for hunting and fishing activities on Orange Lake, a resource-based recreation destination.

The park has undergone recent modernization improvements funded through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, with nearly $1.9 million invested in upgrades to enhance boating access opportunities. Before launching, paddlers should confirm current water conditions and any seasonal restrictions, as water levels on Orange Lake can fluctuate. The ramp's reliability during low water periods makes it a dependable choice for planning paddling trips on the lake.
