Strickland Landing Park and Boat Ramp provides public access to Holmes Creek in the Vernon area of Washington County, Florida. Located in the Atlantic Coastal Plain region, this facility offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore Holmes Creek and its connected waters, including Mill Branch. The ramp is situated in a park setting, making it a developed access point rather than a primitive launch.
To reach the landing, take SR 79 south from Vernon for approximately 7.2 miles to Miller's Ferry Road, turn right and continue 3.8 miles, then turn left on Shell Landing Road (which becomes SR 284A) and drive 2.9 miles until the road ends at the landing. Alternatively, from Live Oak Landing Road, drive about 0.5 mile to reach the ramp. The park setting suggests amenities may be available, though paddlers should verify current conditions and any access requirements before visiting.
Holmes Creek in this region is suitable for recreational paddling and small boating. Before launching, check local water conditions and verify current hours of operation, as access details may vary seasonally.
