About This Access Site
The McKenzie Road Public Boat Ramp, operated by Bay County, provides convenient access to Fanning Bayou in the North Bay area near Panama City. The facility features two single-lane boat ramps, a courtesy dock, and trailer parking for approximately 12 vehicles. This makes it a practical launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and larger vessels exploring the bayou system.
**Note for users:** The north ramp lane has reported concrete damage and missing sections, so exercise caution when launching or loading from that lane. The facility is located in a commercial activity ban zone established by Bay County Commissioners, so expect a recreational-focused environment. Contact Bay County Parks and Recreation for current conditions, seasonal closures, or specific amenities before your visit.
