Wauchula Griffin Road Public Boat Ramp - Fwc # R-4

The Wauchula Griffin Road Public Boat Ramp provides convenient access to the Peace River in central Florida. Located in Hardee County, the ramp is easily accessible via SR 636 (Griffin Road) east of Wauchula—just 0.5 mile east of US 17 on SR 636, then 1.0 mile north on Griffin Road. This is a straightforward, well-marked public launch point suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats heading onto the Peace River.

The Peace River below Wauchula is popular with both anglers and recreational paddlers. The river in this section offers a mix of fishing opportunities and paddling experiences, with the area also known for fossil hunting along the banks. Paddlers should note that water levels can vary seasonally, which may affect launch conditions. This ramp serves as a gateway to the Peace River's Middle section paddling trail, making it a good starting point for day trips or longer explorations downriver.
