Steinhatchee Conservation Area

The Steinhatchee Conservation Area provides public access to the Steinhatchee River in Dixie County via a boat ramp located in the small town of Jena. To reach the ramp, cross the bridge over the river into Jena, then turn right at the road junction and follow the road to its end where the public ramp is situated. This access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the river.

The Steinhatchee River offers a scenic paddling experience through northwest Florida's natural landscape. The ramp provides a convenient launching point for both day trips and longer paddling adventures on this peaceful river system. Paddlers should be aware that commercial services are available in the nearby area, including the Steinhatchee Marina at Deadman Bay for additional boat services if needed.
