Boater Reviews
Not busy. I kayak, and I found it great putting in and out. I didn't use boat launches. I did go to the side. I did enjoy the alligator whom guards the launch
Pretty stretch of river to kayak. The lot is smallish but paved and well maintained. Something bad happened here some years ago so don't be surprised (see pictures). There's a nice textured ramp so getting in and out is easy enough and it doesn't seem to be a high volume place. You're off the main channel of the river so the current isn't strong.
What a beautiful and quite place. We Launched our Kayak's from here. We never saw any boat other that Kayak's launch from here so that helped keep it quite for us.
Beautiful and quiet area. Great place to fish during the day just be careful at night for the gators.
I keeping receiving questions about wheelchair accessibility. Technically yes...there is. But thays because it's an open parking lot....and it's small. So if it's a busy day...then no...because all the cars will be parked too close together. There is no dock...I don't think wheel chair access to a boat is possible, unless you bring your own ramp. I gave three stars because of thebparking situation...although...this is one of my favorite spots. Problem is...it has become too popular and at times...too crowded. The area has cleaned up alot since I first started going there. Still kinda sketch at night. I was just there yesterday with a buddy...there were four vehicles with trailers...including mine. We pretty much took all the spots. But the good news is...on the way to this landing you passed a very nice landing on the left, under the bridge, and you turned on to this road. It has a dock, plenty of parking, and there is a small park with a walkway. This much butter suited for those with power boats. Those with kayaks and canoes...and Jon boats are better going to peach tree landing. The scenery for the kayaker is better, shorter travel to fishing spots for those in Jon boats....and less wakes to deal with from the larger boats.
