Bloody Bluff Public Boat Ramp

Bloody Bluff Landing provides a well-maintained public access point to the Apalachicola River in Franklin County. The facility features an improved boat ramp, 5 campsites, ADA-accessible parking, and bear-proof trash cans, making it convenient for day trips or overnight paddling adventures. Located off Highway 65 near Eastpoint, the ramp is managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and is open to the general public.

This access point opens onto the Apalachicola River, a major freshwater waterway that offers excellent paddling opportunities for kayakers and canoeists. The surrounding area is rich in natural wildlife habitat and is near the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve, one of the most productive estuarine systems in the Northern Hemisphere. Anglers and wildlife enthusiasts will also appreciate proximity to St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, which spans over 12,000 acres across islands and mainland tracts.

For paddlers planning an extended trip, Wright Lake Campground is available within 10 miles of the ramp for additional camping options. The scenic drive down Bloody Bluff Road offers opportunities to spot wintering songbirds and native sparrow species, adding to the outdoor experience.
