Nick's Park offers free public access to the Pithlachascotee River (also called the Cotee River) in Port Richey, featuring a single-lane concrete ramp approximately 20 feet wide. The facility is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats, with convenient amenities including a courtesy dock, picnic pavilion, and restrooms. Parking is available for roughly 20 boat trailers at the ramp area.
The Pithlachascotee River provides direct access to both freshwater paddling and saltwater exploration, as the launch is situated just a short distance from the open Gulf of Mexico. This makes Nick's Park a versatile access point for exploring estuarine environments and coastal waters. The site is operated and maintained by Pasco County Parks and Recreation, ensuring reliable upkeep of the facilities.
