Portland Park offers convenient access to Alaqua Creek near Freeport in Walton County. The facility features a single-lane boat ramp suitable for motorboats and trailers, plus hand-launching areas specifically designed for kayaks and canoes. Amenities include non-floating courtesy docks, parking for 8-10 vehicles with trailers, a picnic pavilion, BBQ grill, and restroom facilities.
The launch provides access to a scenic stretch of creek that widens and deepens as it flows toward Choctawhatchee Bay. Paddlers can expect a slow-moving waterway lined with docks and residential areas. The creek is navigable to the bay below Highway 20, making this an ideal starting point for both creek exploration and bay access. The park's facilities make it a good base for day trips or longer paddling adventures in the area.
