Located in Inverness, Citrus County, Wayside Park provides public boat access to Lake Henderson and the scenic Tsala Apopka Lake chain. The facility features dedicated boat trailer parking and amenities including picnic tables and grills, making it a convenient launch point for a day on the water. This access site is particularly well-suited for kayakers and canoeists exploring the quieter waters of Little and Big Lake Henderson.
The calm, sheltered waters of Lake Henderson make this an ideal location for paddlers of all skill levels. The park's setting provides a pleasant spot to prepare gear before launching or to relax after your paddle. Note that this facility is designed with smaller watercraft in mind, so kayaks and canoes are well-accommodated here. If you're planning to launch a larger vessel, consider checking nearby alternatives like the 44 East Boat Ramp, which has dual ramps better suited for bigger boats.
