About This Access Site
Carpenter's Park North is a public boat ramp facility operated by the City of Milton, offering convenient access to the Blackwater River's brackish waters. The park features two dedicated launching ramps with four total lanes, courtesy docks, and ample parking (21 trailer spaces plus overflow parking across the street). Additional amenities include picnic tables, restrooms, a playground, and trash facilities, making it a well-maintained community access point.

The Blackwater River is a tidal waterway characterized by narrow sections and mangrove-lined banks, offering excellent paddling and fishing opportunities. Be aware that water levels fluctuate significantly with tides, and some areas become shallow at low tide, particularly in narrower sections. Paddlers should plan trips accordingly and check tidal conditions before launching. For current hours of operation and any access information, contact the City of Milton at 1-850-983-5466.
