C-24 Canal Park offers direct access to the C-24 Canal and St. Lucie River North Fork in Port St. Lucie. This is a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters looking to explore the North Fork waterway. The ramp provides a good entry point for paddlers interested in navigating downstream toward the Indian River system, making it suitable for both day trips and longer paddles.
**Important note for boaters:** Multiple visitors have reported that the ramp surface can be very slippery, so exercise caution when launching and retrieving vessels, particularly during wet conditions. Proceed slowly when backing boats down the ramp to avoid losing traction. The freshwater environment at the launch transitions as you paddle downstream, offering opportunities to explore both freshwater and brackish sections of the St. Lucie River system. Before visiting, check local conditions and tide information, as water levels in canal systems can vary seasonally.
