About This Access Site
**Location & Access:** The Bible Camp Road boat ramp is located on the Santa Fe River in Columbia County, Florida, near O'Leno State Park. To reach it, turn east off Highway 41 just past the O'Leno State Park entrance and drive approximately 3.4 miles east until the road ends at I-75.

**Facilities & Launch Options:** This is a well-maintained public access point featuring a concrete boat ramp and a large sandy area suitable for both traditional boat launches and soft launches for kayaks and canoes. The spacious layout provides ample room for staging equipment and maneuvering vessels. The sandy beach area is particularly convenient for paddlers who prefer an easier entry/exit compared to steep ramps.

**About the River:** The Santa Fe River in this section flows through the Atlantic Coastal Plain with characteristic springs and limestone features. Paddlers heading upstream will encounter the famous river "sink" and "rise" near O'Leno State Park, making this an excellent access point for exploring this unique geological area. This ramp serves paddlers interested in day trips or multi-day excursions through scenic upper Santa Fe River sections toward High Springs.
