Rosen Park Public Boat Ramp

Located in southeast Cape Coral on Chantrey Canal, Rosen Park offers convenient saltwater access to the Caloosahatchee River with two wide ramps (30' x 60' each) and ample parking for vehicles and trailers. The facility provides direct access to the Gulf of Mexico via the Caloosahatchee River, situated approximately 11.2 miles from the Sanibel Causeway Bridge. This is a popular launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring the local waterways.

To reach the ramp, travel east on Viscaya Parkway from Del Prado Boulevard, continue to the end, head south on SE 24th Avenue, then turn left on SE 15th Terrace. The park itself features picnic areas and a boardwalk, making it a pleasant spot for pre- or post-paddle relaxation. Cape Coral residents can obtain annual parking decals, and the facility maintains clean amenities for recreational users.

The location provides excellent access to nearby wildlife viewing opportunities, including Matlacha Pass National Wildlife Refuge and Caloosahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, both known for mangrove ecosystems and abundant wildlife. Whether launching for a day paddle or extended river exploration, Rosen Park is a well-maintained facility with the infrastructure needed for saltwater paddling adventures.
