About This Access Site
Located in Mulberry, this primitive boat launch provides access to Carter Road Lake in Polk County. The facility is part of the well-maintained Loyce E. Harpe Park, which offers additional amenities including picnic tables, paved walking trails, and a screened-in pavilion available for rent. The launch is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats seeking freshwater paddling opportunities in the region.

The park's primitive boat launch is ideal for paddlers and boaters looking for a straightforward access point without extensive facilities. While specific details about water conditions and seasonal closures should be verified with Polk County Parks and Recreation before your visit, note that Polk County has periodically closed boat ramps due to high water conditions during severe weather events. Check current conditions and any burn bans or access restrictions that may be in effect before heading out.
