Lake Istokpoga (Boggy Branch) Public Boat Ramp

The Boggy Branch access point provides convenient public boat launch facilities on Lake Istokpoga, one of Florida's largest and most popular recreational lakes. Located at 623 Lakesedge Drive in Highlands County, this ramp offers standard boat launching capabilities and is part of the broader Istokpoga Canal Boat Ramp Area, which includes dedicated airboat access. The site serves as an excellent entry point for exploring the lake's approximately 28,000 acres of open water.

Lake Istokpoga is well-suited for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating, with calm, expansive waters ideal for paddlers of various skill levels. The lake's size and relatively flat topography make it accessible for day trips or longer excursions. This access point is particularly convenient for anglers, as the lake is renowned as one of Florida's premier fishing destinations. The nearby Lake Wales Ridge National Wildlife Refuge adds additional recreational opportunities for wildlife viewing and exploration in the area.
