About This Access Site
The East boat ramp provides access to Lake Parker, Lakeland's largest lake at 2,108 acres with a maximum depth of approximately 25 feet. Located on the east shore via Lake Parker Drive in Polk County, this county-operated ramp is one of three public launch points on the lake, making it a convenient option for paddlers and boaters exploring this expansive freshwater body. The ramp is situated near Eastside Park, which offers amenities including picnic shelters for visitors.
Lake Parker's substantial size—holding over five billion gallons of water—makes it suitable for various watercraft including kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The relatively modest maximum depth of 25 feet and the open acreage provide good conditions for recreational paddling and fishing. With multiple access points around the lake's perimeter, paddlers can plan different routes and launch locations depending on their preferred paddling areas.
