Ira A. Hutchinson Park and Public Boat Ramp

Located in Bay County near Panama City, Ira A. Hutchinson Park provides public access to Deer Point Lake via a dedicated boat ramp facility. The park has recently undergone improvements, including a new restroom building and upgrades to the boat ramp infrastructure, making it a well-maintained launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The addition of a new playground also makes this site suitable for families planning a day on the water.

Paddlers can expect a developed facility with modern amenities at this access point. The boat ramp is designed to accommodate various vessel types, and the park setting provides a convenient staging area for launching watercraft. When planning a visit, it's recommended to contact Bay County Parks and Recreation or check ahead for any current conditions or seasonal updates, as additional improvements to the seawall are planned for the future.
