Boat Ramps at East Ridge and Blackwood Closed to Boat Launching during Holiday Weekends
The Plantation Yacht Harbor Marina Boat Ramp at Founders Park is Open
Mile Marker 87 bayside

Boat Ramps Closed on  Saturday December 31, 2022 at 1:00PM Through Monday January 2, 2023 at 8:00AM 

The public boat ramps at East Ridge Road and Blackwood Drive will be closed to boat launching during holiday weekends. The barriers used to close the ramps to boats do allow access for kayaks and paddleboards. The Village Council agreed upon the closures of the residential neighborhood boat ramps beginning in 2021 to minimize negative impacts on Village residents during crowded holiday weekends.

The boat ramp at the Plantation Yacht Harbor Marina at Founders Park will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. throughout the holiday weekend. Non-resident fees are $20.00 each way ($40.00 round trip.) When the trailer parking lot is full, restrictions will apply.

Visitors are also encouraged to support the local economy by using private marina facilities.

Please be reminded that the water access point on Indian Key remains closed for repairs.
