B.V. Buchanan Park and Public Boat Ramp

B.V. Buchanan Park offers excellent access to West Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway in Bay County, Florida. This well-developed facility features 10 launching lanes, courtesy docks, and 65 paved trailer parking spaces, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. The park includes restroom facilities for visitor convenience. The ramp provides good access to the calm waters of West Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway, making it ideal for paddlers seeking protected paddling routes along Florida's coast.

For boaters and anglers, the location offers easy access to deeper waters for offshore activities through nearby Palm Beach Inlet near Peanut Island. However, paddlers should note that the ramp has limited width, which may affect larger vessel launches. Smaller craft like kayaks and canoes will have no difficulty accessing the water. Given its position on West Bay, this is a good starting point for exploring the Intracoastal Waterway system and nearby coastal areas.
