About This Access Site
Karick Lake North offers a well-maintained concrete boat ramp with a courtesy dock, located within the Blackwater River State Forest's Karick Lake Recreation Area in Okaloosa County.

The facility is situated approximately 1 hour northeast of Pensacola, near Baker, FL, off County Road 189.

The access site is part of a full-service campground with restrooms, showers, potable water, and RV facilities available on-site, making it convenient for day trips or extended outings. The concrete ramp and pier setup accommodates both paddlers and motorized boats. The calm lake environment makes it suitable for kayaking and canoeing of various skill levels.
