Located at 6401 Riverview Drive in Riverview, the Riverview Public Boat Ramp provides public access to the Alafia River and downstream paddling toward Tampa Bay. The facility features a concrete boat ramp with dock space for loading and unloading kayaks, canoes, and small boats. Ample parking is available at the launch site, making it convenient for day trips on the water.
This is a non-staffed, unmanned facility with no on-site restrooms, so plan accordingly before arriving. The ramp is suitable for paddlers of all skill levels looking to explore the Alafia River system. From this location, you can paddle upstream into the river or downstream toward the broader Tampa Bay area, depending on your experience level and paddling goals. Check local conditions and tidal information before launching, as the Alafia River's character varies with water levels and flow.
