Lake Powell Public Boat Ramp

Located at 23104 Lake Powell Road in Panama City, this large public ramp accommodates multiple vessels simultaneously, including houseboats, making it suitable for various watercraft from kayaks to motorboats. The ramp is lengthy and extends into the water, though paddlers should be prepared for a longer walk back to vehicles after parking, especially as water levels fluctuate seasonally. Courtesy docks near the ramp have a 30-minute time limit for loading and unloading.

The facility offers convenient amenities including fuel docks and a pumpout station located just downstream of the main ramp. On-site parking, picnic areas, restrooms, and a playground make this a well-rounded access point. For kayakers and canoeists, note that Lake Powell's water temperatures hover around 58 degrees (depending on season), so plan accordingly. The ramp's capacity and multiple facilities make it a reliable choice during peak use periods, though less crowded alternatives like Lone Rock may appeal to those seeking a more primitive experience.
