About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Riverside Park's public boat ramp is located in Vero Beach on the Indian River Lagoon, providing convenient access to this expansive 156-mile estuary along Florida's east coast. The ramp is situated where Riomar Creek meets the lagoon, offering paddlers and boaters a well-developed launch facility in a central location.

**What to Expect**
This is a full-service public boat ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and recreational boats. The facility includes paved parking and amenities typical of established Indian River County access points. The calm, sheltered waters of the lagoon make it ideal for paddlers of various skill levels, and the ramp provides straightforward access to the lagoon's extensive waterway system.

**Nearby Paddling & Recreation**
From this launch, paddlers can explore the scenic Indian River Lagoon estuary, including trips to Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge nearby. The area is popular for fishing, wildlife viewing, and leisurely paddling through one of Florida's most ecologically important waterways. Several other public ramps in the area, including Oslo Boat Ramp and Black Pearl Museum Pointe, offer alternative access points if needed.
