**Location & Access:**
Magnolia Landing is a public boat ramp on the Chipola River near Marianna in Jackson County. The ramp is easily accessible from downtown Marianna: from the intersection of US 90 and SR 166, head north on SR 166 for 1.2 miles—the ramp is on the left side just before the Veneer Bridge. Alternatively, from I-10, take SR 71 south for 0.5 miles, turn right on Magnolia Road, and continue about 1.5 miles to the ramp on the left after the bridge.
**Facility & User Types:**
This is a traditional boat ramp facility suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. The location provides convenient access to the Chipola River, a popular waterway for paddling in the Florida Panhandle. The proximity to the bridge and established ramp infrastructure makes this a straightforward put-in point for day trips on this scenic river section.
**Planning Your Visit:**
Before launching, check current river conditions and water levels, as the Chipola can vary seasonally. The ramp's riverside location near Marianna provides good access to both upstream and downstream paddling opportunities. Contact Jackson County or local paddling resources for specific information about water conditions, any seasonal closures, or facility amenities.
