Sand Ridge Primitive Boat Launch - Jena Wildlife Management Area

The Sand Ridge Primitive Boat Launch provides access to Pine Log Creek via a dirt road within the Jena Wildlife Management Area in Dixie County. This launch is maintained by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and serves as a gateway to exploring the waterways of Florida's Nature Coast. To locate the ramp, turn right onto Sand Ridge Road from Rocky Creek Cutoff Road.

As a primitive launch, expect a rustic experience with limited amenities. This site is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists seeking a quieter paddling experience in a wildlife management area. Pine Log Creek offers the opportunity to explore natural waterways in a relatively undeveloped setting. The primitive nature of the facility means visitors should come prepared and plan accordingly, particularly regarding parking and facilities. This access point is an excellent choice for paddlers interested in experiencing the coastal nature of Dixie County away from more developed boat ramps.
