About This Access Site
M-Port Marina and Boat Ramp provides convenient access to Lake George, the largest lake within the St. Johns River system and a scenic paddling destination on the northeastern edge of Ocala National Forest. The facility features a 2-lane boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. This is a solid choice for paddlers looking to explore the open waters of Lake George or access the broader St. Johns River system.

The ramp is located in Fort McCoy, Marion County, near the confluence of several waterways. Paddlers should note that Lake George can experience significant wind and wave conditions due to its size, making it better suited for experienced paddlers or those seeking a more open-water experience. For those planning an extended trip, Hopkins Prairie Campground is available within 10 miles for overnight stays.

Before heading out, contact local authorities or the marina directly for current conditions, ramp hours, and any applicable fees. The site provides shoreline fishing access as well, making it a multi-use recreation area.
