About This Access Site
Torry Island East provides convenient access to the southern portion of Lake Okeechobee, Florida's largest freshwater lake. Located in Belle Glade, this well-developed facility features six boat launch lanes (two single-lane and two double-lane ramps), making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and larger motorboats. The ramp accommodates trailers with 206 dedicated parking spaces and includes three docks for easy water access.

Amenities at the site include picnic tables and a portable restroom facility, making it a practical choice for a full day on the water. Lake Okeechobee offers diverse recreational opportunities across its expansive waters, surrounded by natural Florida landscape featuring moss-draped live oaks and native vegetation. Paddlers should note that water levels can fluctuate seasonally, which may occasionally impact access at some launches, so it's worth checking current conditions before your trip.
