The Three Mile Boat Ramp provides access to the Tamiami Canal (Canal C-4) in Miami-Dade County, located along the Tamiami Trail (US 41) in the Everglades WMA. This is a public boat launch facility managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats seeking access to the canal system and surrounding Everglades waterways.
The Tamiami Canal is a man-made waterway that runs through the southern Everglades, offering relatively calm, flat-water paddling typical of the region's canal system. Paddlers can expect shallow to moderate depths and minimal current in this controlled waterway. The ramp can accommodate various watercraft types, making it accessible for both recreational paddlers and boaters. Facilities are basic, so plan accordingly by bringing adequate water and supplies.
For current information about hours of operation, fees, parking availability, and specific amenities at this location, contact the FWC or check the Everglades WMA official website. The site is situated within a wildlife management area, so familiarize yourself with any regulations regarding access and species protection before launching.
