Located on Roberts Bay in Venice, this access site provides convenient entry to the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and surrounding waters. Situated on the east side of the ICW with access from the north side of East Venice Avenue near the bridge, the facility is well-suited for kayaks, canoes, and small boats. The park is adjacent to the historic Venice Train Depot, making it an accessible urban launch point for paddlers exploring the local waterway system.
The facility includes a public boat launch, life jacket loaner station, restrooms, and benches. These amenities make it a practical choice for both day trips and longer excursions into the broader network of Sarasota County waterways. The park's location on protected bay waters provides a good launching point for exploring Roberts Bay and connecting to the ICW, offering paddlers access to both calm bay paddling and longer-distance waterway travel.
