The Millview/Heron Bayou Public Boat Ramp provides direct access to Heron Bayou and Perdido Bay near Pensacola. This 40-acre facility features a two-lane boat ramp, 62 trailer parking spaces, and 22 standard parking spaces, making it well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small to medium-sized boats. The ramp connects to a maintained dredged channel (2,260 feet long, 40 feet wide, and 5 feet deep) that leads directly to Perdido Bay's brackish waters.
**Important Note:** The ramp is accessed via Lillian Highway (U.S. 98) and Dog Track Road (County Road 298) near their intersection. Be aware of the low bridge clearance at Route 98—it's essential to navigate under this bridge to reach Perdido Bay, so plan your route accordingly if towing taller vessels. The brackish water environment supports diverse paddling opportunities, and nearby Gulf Islands National Seashore offers additional coastal exploration possibilities for those seeking extended trips.
