Everglades Rod & Gun Club Hotel

Located in Everglades City on the Barron River, this public boat ramp provides access to scenic paddling and boating opportunities in the Ten Thousand Islands area. The ramp is situated behind the Everglades Rod & Gun Club Hotel, a full-service facility that includes dining, lodging, and amenities. This is a convenient launch point for exploring the Barron River and adjacent waterways leading to Chokoloskee Bay and the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge.

Paddlers and boaters should note that this is a working facility associated with a private hotel and restaurant. While the ramp is designated as public access, specific information about launch fees, parking availability, hours of operation, and current conditions should be confirmed directly with the facility before your visit. The location provides good access to sheltered mangrove-lined waterways typical of the southwestern Everglades, making it suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and small motorboats exploring the Ten Thousand Islands area.
