Located in Okaloosa County, this county park provides boat ramp access to Garnier Bayou and Poquito Bayou in the Choctawhatchee Bay system. The facility features a single-lane boat ramp with a courtesy dock, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. With the calm waters of these protected bayous just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico, this is an excellent launching point for exploring scenic waterfront areas and enjoying protected paddling.
The park amenities include parking for approximately 10 boat trailers, a small pavilion with picnic tables and grills, a portable restroom, and a swimming area. These facilities make it a family-friendly destination for both day trips and longer outings. Before launching, note that conditions can vary seasonally, and paddlers should be prepared for typical brackish bayou environments with tidal influences.
