**Location & Access**
Located in Highlands County near Lorida, Florida, this boat ramp provides access to Canal C-41A (also known as Slough Ditch) off State Road 70. The ramp serves as a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats exploring this canal system in central Florida's Atlantic Coastal Plain.
**Facilities & Practical Information**
This is a basic access point with limited amenities—there are no restrooms on-site, so plan accordingly. Before visiting, contact local authorities or the Highlands County Parks and Recreation Department to confirm the ramp is open and operational, as temporary closures can occur due to weather, maintenance, or special events. Water conditions and access status may vary seasonally, so it's wise to call ahead, especially during the wet or dry season.
**Paddling Considerations**
C-41A Canal is a relatively calm, flat-water paddling area suitable for recreational kayakers and canoeists. This is primarily a launch point for exploring the local canal system rather than a destination for whitewater or advanced paddling. The area is popular with anglers and offers opportunities for quiet-water paddling through the coastal plains.
