About This Access Site
Twin Cities Park in Valparaiso offers public boat access to the Choctawhatchee Bay and River system. The facility features a concrete boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The park is situated on a small bluff with scenic views of the waterway, making it a convenient departure point for exploring the bay and river ecosystem in the Destin area.

The ramp is a single-lane concrete launch that can be steep, so users should be prepared for variable water conditions. At low river levels, shallow water near the ramp may require care when launching. The park provides basic amenities including picnic tables and restroom facilities, making it suitable for a day outing. This access point is ideal for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the shallow waters and wildlife habitat of the Choctawhatchee Bay and its connected river system.
