Knowles Park Boat Ramp

**Location & Access**
Knowles Park offers public boat ramp access to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in Delray Beach, Palm Beach County. The facility is designed to accommodate various watercraft including kayaks, canoes, motorboats, and jet skis, making it a versatile launch point for paddlers and recreational boaters.

**Paddling Opportunities**
From this access point, paddlers can explore the Intracoastal Waterway—a protected network of canals and bays running along Florida's eastern coast. The waterway provides options to travel north or south along the Intracoastal, or navigate toward the Atlantic Ocean. This makes Knowles Park an excellent starting point for both day trips and longer explorations. The location also provides convenient access to nearby paddling destinations, including the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, which offers scenic wildlife viewing opportunities.

**Planning Your Visit**
Before launching, check local conditions and tide schedules, as the Intracoastal can be influenced by tidal flow. The facility is popular with both anglers and recreational paddlers, so expect moderate use during peak seasons. Contact Delray Beach Parks and Recreation for current information on amenities, parking, and any facility hours or regulations.
