Located at 9023 Cedar Point Road in Jacksonville, Cedar Point offers a dedicated boat ramp and kayak/canoe launch within the Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve, a protected National Park Service area. The facility features a large unpaved access area shaded by mature live oaks, with parking and restroom facilities nearby. A small launch fee applies, though park entry is free. This is an excellent starting point for exploring the scenic Sisters Creek and Horseshoe Creek systems, which provide access to the Intracoastal Waterway, Nassau Sound, and beyond.
From Cedar Point, paddlers can enjoy protected salt marsh paddling through one of Florida's last unspoiled coastal wetland areas. The preserve spans 6,000 years of human history, making it ideal for those interested in combining paddling with cultural and natural exploration. The natural setting under the live oaks creates a peaceful launch environment. To reach the boat ramp, follow signs to turn left just before the main road ends at the parking lot.
