Rim Ditch at Highway 68 Public Boat Ramp (Primitive)

This primitive public access point on Rim Ditch (Canal C-24) in Saint Lucie County provides a no-fee launching option for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats. The single-lane concrete ramp is in good condition and accommodates hand-launched vessels well. Parking is available on a gravel/sand surface with space for approximately 6 vehicles with trailers, making it suitable for small groups. Note that this is designated as a primitive facility with no docks, no ADA facilities, and no restroom amenities on-site.

Before visiting, check locally with Saint Lucie County authorities about current conditions, as access points can be temporarily closed due to maintenance, weather, or special events. The facility operates 24 hours and charges no fees. Paddlers should be aware of the canal environment and plan accordingly for water conditions and wildlife typical of South Florida's Atlantic Coastal Plain waterways. This ramp works best for those launching smaller, hand-carry vessels or trailered boats with limited horsepower.
