Valparaiso Florida Park

Located in Valparaiso on the western shore of Boggy Bayou, this access point provides convenient launch facilities for paddlers and boaters exploring the northern reaches of Choctawhatchee Bay. The site features a boat ramp along with nearby amenities including a fishing pier at the mouth of Toms Bayou, making it a practical starting point for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the calm, protected waters of Boggy Bayou.

Boggy Bayou offers relatively sheltered paddling with access to diverse habitats and abundant wildlife typical of Northwest Florida's coastal systems. From this launch, paddlers can explore the bayou's shallow waters or venture into the broader Choctawhatchee Bay system. The park setting provides additional facilities such as picnic areas and beach access, making it suitable for both day trips and longer outings. This location is particularly convenient for those based in the Valparaiso and Niceville area.
