Everglades WMA - Tamiami Trail (15 mile) at S-12-C

This boat ramp provides access to the Tamiami Canal, a man-made waterway that stretches from Miami westward into the Everglades. Located in Miami-Dade County along the Tamiami Trail (US 41), this access point serves paddlers and boaters exploring this unique flatwater corridor through the Everglades Wildlife Management Area. The canal offers opportunities for both casual paddling and longer excursions into pristine Everglades habitat.

The Tamiami Canal is ideal for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats given its calm, flat-water conditions. Paddlers can explore upstream and downstream from the ramp, with the option of multi-day trips or shuttle services available through local liveries. The area is part of the larger Everglades ecosystem, so paddlers should be prepared for shallow water conditions, variable water levels, and wildlife encounters. Contact the local wildlife management area for current conditions, water levels, and any seasonal access restrictions before planning your trip.
