Seafood Workers Park Public Boat Ramp

Located near the western entrance to Apalachicola on US Highway 98, Seafood Workers Park offers convenient access to Apalachicola Bay for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters. The facility includes dedicated kayak launch areas alongside traditional boat ramps, making it suitable for paddlers of all experience levels. The park features covered picnic platforms with grills, a fishing and observation pier, and amenities that make it a comfortable spot for launching or taking a break during your paddling adventure.

This location provides excellent access to one of the Northern Hemisphere's most productive estuarine systems. From here, paddlers can explore the rich waters of Apalachicola Bay and venture toward nearby St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge, which spans approximately 12,492 acres across two islands and mainland tracts and offers outstanding fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities. The Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve also protects these ecologically significant waters, making this an ideal starting point for exploring a highly productive and well-managed coastal ecosystem.
