Everglades WMA - Alligator Alley - Mile 31 Westbound

This boat ramp provides convenient access to the Alligator Alley Canal North, located on the north side of Interstate 75 at mile 31 westbound near Weston. The site is part of the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area, offering paddlers and boaters a gateway into the extensive Everglades canal system. The ramp is situated within an interchange area that connects to additional recreational facilities along this major corridor through South Florida.

The access point is part of a larger network of boat ramps available along Alligator Alley, with additional launch facilities nearby at mile 32 and mile 35. The nearby Mile 35 rest area (north and south sides) is noted as an excellent stop with modern facilities, tourist information, and restrooms. Paddlers should be prepared for typical Everglades conditions including shallow, flat-water canal paddling with potential for wildlife encounters (including alligators). This location is ideal for those seeking convenient access to the Everglades without venturing far from I-75.
