About This Access Site
This boat ramp provides access to L-38 West Canal and Water Conservation Area 3, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the Everglades. The ramp is located in Broward County along Highway 27 at Mile 39 and connects paddlers to expansive shallow-water ecosystems typical of the WMA system. Water levels can vary seasonally, with lower conditions during the dry winter months potentially affecting larger vessels, though kayaks and canoes are generally less impacted.

The area offers multiple access points throughout the WMA system, including ramps along Alligator Alley and Tamiami Trail if you're exploring different sections. Nearby amenities such as Mack's Fish Camp (305-822-5033) on Krome Avenue provide services including boat rentals, bait and tackle, and fishing guides. Be aware that access and exit from Water Conservation Area 3 is typically restricted to designated levees; check current regulations before your visit to ensure compliance with WMA rules.
