Herlong Park Public Boat Ramp

Herlong Park offers a public boat ramp providing direct access to Lake Griffin, a popular freshwater destination in the Leesburg area. Located at 700 East North Boulevard (US 441 at the south end of the lake), this government-owned facility is a stand-alone ramp open for general public use. The site can get quite busy, especially during peak boating seasons, so arriving early is recommended if you prefer quieter conditions.

In addition to the boat ramp, Herlong Park features a public pier, picnic areas, and good opportunities for wildlife viewing. The location makes it convenient for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore Lake Griffin, and anglers frequently use the site. Note that the lake's water levels are controlled by two locks, which may affect paddling conditions. The park is primarily focused on water-based recreation, so plan accordingly if you're looking for additional amenities beyond boating and fishing.
