Everglades WMA - Alligator Alley - Mile 40.7 East Bound

This boat ramp provides convenient access to the Alligator Alley Canal South in the Everglades Wildlife Management Area, located right along Interstate 75 in Broward County. The access point is situated at Mile Marker 40.7 on the eastbound side of I-75, making it easily accessible for those traveling between Naples and Fort Lauderdale. This location is part of a series of rest stop boat ramps along Alligator Alley, allowing paddlers and boaters to quickly launch into the Everglades canal system.

The canal offers a straightforward paddling and boating experience through the Everglades. Paddlers should be prepared for typical Everglades conditions, including wildlife encounters (alligators and birds are common) and open water paddling. The canal system provides access to the broader Everglades ecosystem and connects to other waterways within the Wildlife Management Area. Check with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or local rangers for current conditions, water levels, and any seasonal restrictions before your visit.
