About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Jim's Fish Camp is a boat ramp located on Bass Hole Cove in Escambia Bay, just south of Pace on Highway 90 between Pensacola and Pace. This lower river and delta location provides direct access to the Escambia River, Escambia Bay, and surrounding waterways including the Bannahassee River and Simpson River. The facility appears to have multiple launch areas; local paddlers recommend using the ramp on the right side of the property.

**Best For**
This access point is ideal for kayakers and boaters looking to paddle the lower Escambia River, explore the delta marshes, or access Escambia Bay. The calm, sheltered waters of Bass Hole Cove make it suitable for various skill levels, though paddlers should be prepared for tidal influences typical of bay and delta environments. This is a good launching point for both day trips and longer explorations of the coastal plain waterways.

**Nearby Alternatives**
Additional boat ramps and fish camps are located along Highway 90 between Pensacola and Pace, offering multiple access options for the Escambia River system. A free public ramp is also available at Archie Glover off Avalon Boulevard north of I-10 for those seeking alternative launching points.
