Located in Wewahitchka, Gulf County, this pay ramp provides access to the Chipola River and the scenic Lake Grove area. The facility serves paddlers and boaters looking to explore the Chipola River system, including connections to the Dead Lakes and Chipola Cutoff. As a staffed pay ramp, expect standard amenities typical of Florida boat launches, though you should contact local authorities in advance to confirm current operating status and any seasonal conditions that may affect access.
The Chipola River in this area flows through the Atlantic Coastal Plain, offering a relatively gentle paddling experience suitable for kayakers and canoeists of various skill levels. The proximity to Lake Grove and the Dead Lakes system provides multiple route options for day trips or extended paddling. Before your visit, check ahead with local management to confirm the ramp's operational status, current fees, and any specific conditions—weather or maintenance issues can occasionally impact access.
