A message from FWC – Florida Fish and Wildlife on finding open boat ramps

Currently, many of the boat ramps throughout the state remain open to the public and users are urged to engage in social distancing. Our “Florida Public Boat Ramp Finder” page is updated every 24-hours to include information regarding boat ramp open/closed status. It’s important to check with local, county, and statewide Emergency Orders before you leave on a trip. It’s also a good idea to check with the managing entity of the boat ramp if it’s not run by the FWC.

Find information specific to your county under the special comments section of each ramp, and if the comment box is blank, it means the ramp is currently open: https://public.myfwc.com/LE/boatramp/public/CountyMap.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3rs3M0SctDqDR7GtQpWgjYkeICgcf1Z0L6i2h7x74OSWc3TCkURb4-LIQ
