The Jena Public Boat Ramp provides access to the Steinhatchee River in the small community of Jena, located in Dixie County. This unpaved single-lane ramp is situated at the western end of County Route 358 and offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats exploring this coastal plain waterway. Parking is available on the shoulder near the ramp.
The Steinhatchee River in this area is a peaceful paddling destination, characterized by the calm, scenic waters typical of Florida's Gulf Coast tributaries. The ramp's location near the town of Jena makes it accessible for day trips and recreational paddling. Note that facilities are basic, and conditions may be weather-dependent given the unpaved surface, so paddlers should check conditions before visiting. There is no access fee to use this public ramp.
