Located in Sumter County at CR 575 Bridge near Withlacoochee RV Resort, this public boat ramp provides convenient access to the Withlacoochee River for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The launch allows paddlers to explore the river in both directions—heading south toward Arrowhead or north toward Dunnellon and the scenic "backwaters" area.
**Important considerations for paddlers:** Water levels significantly affect navigability on this section of the Withlacoochee. If water levels are below 54 feet, numerous shoals may become too shallow to paddle through safely. It's recommended to scout shoals ahead of time if you're uncertain about passage, especially during low-water periods. The ramp provides good access to this scenic Florida river system, popular for both day trips and longer paddling adventures.
