About This Access Site
Located at Mile 33.5 on Highway 27 near Weston, this public access point provides entry to L-38 West Canal and Water Conservation Area 3 (WCA-3). The facility features a new two-lane boat ramp suitable for most vessels, with dockage available. This is an excellent launching point for kayakers and canoeists exploring the vast shallow waterways of the Everglades ecosystem.
**What to Know Before You Go:** Water levels fluctuate seasonally, with notably low conditions during the dry winter months that may affect access and navigation. Be prepared for shallow water and plan accordingly. Boaters should note that entry and exit must occur only from the L-5 or Miami Canal levees. The area is regularly maintained by District scientists who manage exotic vegetation, helping preserve the natural environment.
**Nearby Resources:** Additional access points to WCA-3 are available along Alligator Alley and the Tamiami Trail (SR 41), as well as at Mack's Fish Camp on Krome Avenue. The Highway 27 location offers convenient access for day trips into one of Florida's most unique paddling destinations.
