About This Access Site
**Location & Access:**
Lonnie Wurn Boat Ramp is a single-lane public access point located at 4131 Ferber Road in the Fort Caroline Club Estates neighborhood of North Arlington. It provides direct access to Mill Cove and the northern St. Johns River, making it an ideal launch spot for exploring these shallow-water areas by kayak, canoe, or small boat.

**What to Expect:**
This is a modest, no-frills ramp suitable for launching smaller vessels and paddled craft. The facility's single lane means it's best suited for kayakers, canoeists, and smaller motorboats rather than high-volume trailer traffic. The St. Johns River in this area features the calm, scenic characteristics typical of its upper reaches—ideal for paddlers seeking a leisurely paddle through historic waters and salt marshes.

**Nearby Recreation:**
The ramp's location provides convenient access to two major attractions: the Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve, offering six millennia of human history amid unspoiled coastal wetlands, and Fort Caroline National Memorial, the site of an early French colonial settlement. Plan your visit to explore both natural beauty and regional history.
