Located in Astor along the scenic St. Johns River, Jungle Den Motel and RV Park offers a convenient public boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats. The facility features a functional launch area and a riverside dock where paddlers can stage their watercraft. This is a straightforward access point ideal for exploring the St. Johns River and nearby Dunn's Creek, popular paddles in this section of the river.
The site is situated in an active RV park and motel property, so expect a developed, working waterfront environment rather than a primitive natural setting. Paddlers launching here have direct access to the historic St. Johns River, which flows through the Atlantic Coastal Plain and is known for its scenic, slow-moving character. Nearby Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge offers excellent paddling opportunities for wildlife viewing. For those planning an extended trip, Buck Lake Group Campground is available within 10 miles, and onsite accommodations at the motel or RV park provide convenient options for overnight stays.
