Vernon Park offers a public boat ramp on Holmes Creek in Washington County, Florida's scenic Atlantic Coastal Plain. This access point features an unpaved hand launch suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small boats, with approximately a 200-foot carry from the parking area. The site includes basic amenities such as picnic tables, a port-a-potty, and parking.
**Directions:** From Vernon, travel south 7.2 miles on SR 79 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 dead ends at the landing. Alternative access is available 3 miles north of Vernon off CR 277 with about a one-mile access road.
This location is ideal for paddlers seeking a more rustic, undeveloped launch experience on Holmes Creek. The hand-launch format means you'll want to come prepared for a short portage, making it best suited for lighter kayaks and canoes rather than larger motorized vessels.
