Smith's Fish Camp Pay Ramp

Smith's Fish Camp Pay Ramp is a commercial boat launch facility located at 3509 Smith's Fish Camp Road in Ferry Pass, near Pensacola. This ramp provides convenient access to Escambia Bay and the lower Escambia River, with over 80 parking spots available for vehicle and trailer parking. The facility operates as a marina with a dedicated boat ramp and charges a nominal access fee. The brackish waters here make it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and powerboats looking to explore the river delta and coastal marshes.

From this launch point, paddlers can access the Escambia River upstream or venture into Escambia Bay and Ferry Pass Bayou. The location near the mouth of the river and on the northeast shore of Escambia Bay makes it an ideal starting point for exploring both the riverine and coastal marsh environments. As a commercial facility, Smith's Fish Camp likely offers amenities typical of established marinas, though visitors should contact ahead to confirm current hours and specific services available.
