About This Access Site
Rock Bluff Ferry Landing Park is a public boat launch facility located on the Suwannee River near Bell in Gilchrist County, Florida. The ramp provides paddle access to the Suwannee River as well as the Withlacoochee River, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers and canoeists exploring this region. The park features picnic tables and shade trees, along with a self-pay entrance fee. The landing site marks the historic location of an old ferry, and visitors can explore the Earthworks Trail to view historical earthworks and the former ferry landing.

This access point is situated at CR 30 bridge on the south side of the river, offering easy vehicle and trailer access for boat launch. The park is accessible both by car and trail, providing flexible options for water access. For those interested in extending their visit beyond paddling, the scenic Big Oak Trail (part of the Florida National Scenic Trail) offers a 12.5-mile hiking option. The Suwannee River in this region is suitable for paddling and offers opportunities to explore multiple waterways including portions of the Alapaha and Santa Fe rivers.
