About This Access Site
Potter Springs Public Boat Ramp provides access to Holmes Creek in Vernon, located in Washington County in the Florida Panhandle. This public launch point offers paddlers and boaters an entry point to explore this scenic freshwater creek system. The ramp is situated in a rural area, making it a good option for those seeking a quieter paddling experience away from heavily trafficked waters.

To reach the ramp, travel south from Vernon on SR 79 for approximately 7.2 miles to Miller's Ferry Road, then turn right and continue for 3.8 miles. Turn left onto Shell Landing Road (which becomes SR 284A) and drive 2.9 miles until the road dead ends at the landing. The location is accessible via Live Oak Landing Road as well, roughly 0.5 mile from the turnoff. Before visiting, paddlers should contact local authorities or check current conditions, as rural access points may have seasonal limitations or maintenance periods that affect availability.
