About This Access Site
This boat ramp provides convenient access to Lake Okeechobee, Florida's largest freshwater lake and a premier destination for boating, fishing, and paddling. The ramp features 6 lanes, 4 docks, and ample trailer parking, making it suitable for launching everything from kayaks and canoes to larger recreational boats. The facility is well-maintained and open 24 hours, offering flexible access for early morning and evening paddling trips.

Lake Okeechobee is a vast, shallow lake covering over 730 square miles, making it an excellent destination for flat-water paddling and fishing. The northwestern shores accessible from this ramp are particularly popular with kayakers and canoeists. Given the lake's size and shallow nature, paddlers should be prepared for wind conditions and plan accordingly. For additional resources and information, contact the facility at (863) 763-2622 or visit the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Boat Ramp Finder for other access points around the lake.
