Arbuckle Creek - Burnt Out Bridge Public Boat Ramp

Located at 7600 East Arbuckle Road in Avon Park, this Highlands County public access point offers a concrete boat ramp in good to excellent condition with a single lane capacity and fixed dock. The facility features paved and grass parking suitable for vehicle-and-trailer combinations, and is handicap accessible. This is a straightforward freshwater launch option for paddlers and boaters accessing Arbuckle Creek and connecting waterways in the region.

Paddlers should note that amenities are minimal—there are no restroom facilities at the site. Kayakers and canoeists can expect a small gravel beach launch area in addition to the concrete ramp. The surrounding area offers access to several other lakes and waterways via Arbuckle Creek, making it a useful hub for exploring the Highlands County water system. Be sure to check current conditions and any temporary closures before visiting, as the ramp has experienced periodic maintenance closures.
