S-65D Boat Ramp Facility

The S-65D Boat Ramp in Basinger provides access to the Kissimmee River, a major freshwater waterway in central Florida. This facility offers a good to excellent ramp condition and is located upstream of the S-65 water control structure and boat lock, making it ideal for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the northern reaches of the river. The ramp serves as a convenient launch point for kayakers and canoeists interested in paddling the Kissimmee River's scenic corridors.

Before planning your visit, check current access status with local water management authorities, as boat locks and access points along the Kissimmee River have been periodically closed during high water events. The freshwater river environment provides habitat for wildlife viewing and recreational paddling opportunities. Bring appropriate safety gear, be prepared for potential currents and water level variations, and consult local conditions before launching to ensure a safe outing.
