Not sure if its okay to launch here but secuirty is pretty low in this area.

13: 5 Hook Wreck Henrys

This one is located at Hook Wreck Henry's Bar and Restaraunt.

14: 6 Roho

This is a good all around location to launch and sometimes offers shelter from N winds.

15: 7 Ochlocknee Bridge Ramp

Good all around launch but must watch winds ti fish here. Anything over 10 mph could make a bad day.

16: 8 Sun n Sand

Great way to get out of the wind in Alligator Harbor. Good redfish area and flounder.

17: 9 Tucker Lake

18: 10 Alligator Point

Park on the main road and please don't block access to homeowners driveway.

This gives you quickest access to Alligator Point and Teresa Beach. Great Launch site for Tarpon hunting in a kayak.

20: 12 Lanark Village Boat ramp

21: 13 Bald Point

Location is not open til late in the morning and there is a charge yo use this facilty. No camping either.

22: 14 Mashes Sands

Good access to fishing the Oyster Bars in Ochlocknee Bay. Very dangerous also with lots of big boat traffic and lots of big critters and currents.

23: 15 Mashes Sands Bridge

Kayak only with limited parking and close access to Ochlochnee Bridge. Not for the un-skilled. Can be very dangerous in the bay.

24: 16 Spring Creek Access

Good under almost all conditions. Good access to Reds Trout and Flounder.

$5.00 for private company. Use the mailbox marked for payments at ramp

25: 17 Blue Dolphin

Most kayak friendly area to launch as far as water goes. Parking is limited. Lots of everythiing can be found from here.

26: 18 Shellpoint

27: 19 Shellpoint Beach

You can launch a kayak here. But I don't know why you would. Fishing might be good somewhere around here but not a lot of reports from here. Its mostly used as a public beach.

28: 20 Wakulla Beach

Probably the most popular kayak fishing lauch site due to the low number of boats on this shallow water flat. Great fishing in the East and West Goose Creeks.

29: 21 Saint Marks Fort

Access to both St Marks and Wakulla River. Always has water under all tides.

30: 22 Shell Island Fish Camp

You can rent cabins and launch here. If you just launch here, you will pay a fee.

31: 23 Lower Bridge

This the Lower Bridge on the Wakulla River. Saltwater fish are up to this point and some sheephead can be caught between here and Upper Bridge.

32: 25 Upper Bridge

Freshwater Launch

33: 26 St Marks River

Launch here for fresh water fishingin either direction, but saltwater mostly south.

34: 27 Upper East River

You can launch here but you have to haul your kayak from the parking located at Lighthouse Road. About 200 yards. Be careful of low tides.

35: 28 St Marks Lighthouse

This is the St Marks Lighthouse Boat Ramp. Can be difficult at low tide. Lots of traffic here on weekends from boats.

36: 29 Lighthouse

This is the Lighthouse parking and a great place to launch your kayak into the water. Very difficult with long walk to water in extreme low tides. Great access to water. Lots of traffic on weekends. Get there when the gate opens at 6:00 am

37: 30 Petersen Landing

This on the Fenholloway. There a lot of HUGE alligators so be very careful about cruising close to the banks and grass. Best place to launch a kayak to access flats in Gulf.

38: 31 Hickory Mounds two

I don't use this ramp to launch my kayak. Only small boats should use this if any boats.

39: 32 Hickory Mounds

There are a lot of locations you could launch but this probably the most secure with the amount of foot and car traffic from park visitors. Use the Econfina Boat Ramp Road entrance since it is a lot less bumpy than the HWY 98 entrance.

40: 33 Econfina

This is access to Econfina River to the Gulf. Can get low under extreme low conditions.

41: 34 Aucilla Ramp

If your in a boat, drive very slow, lots of Manatee's and big rocks. Know this area before using this area ina a boat. Long paddle in a kayak.

Safe launch site for access to Pepperfish Key. Lots of trout on the flats, and some Reds. Tarpon are in deep spots off Pepperfish Key.
