Located at 7790 S. Duval Island Drive in Floral City, this public boat ramp provides access to the Floral City Pool of the Tsala Apopka Chain-of-Lakes, a large, shallow freshwater lake system in Citrus County. The ramp is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and smaller recreational boats seeking to explore the interconnected lakes and waterways of this scenic chain.
From this launch point, paddlers can explore the Floral City Pool and access additional lakes within the Tsala Apopka system, including Lake Henderson. Access to the Withlacoochee River is also possible when water levels and lock/structure conditions permit. The shallow nature of these waters makes them ideal for small craft and paddlers, though conditions can vary seasonally. Be aware that water level changes and lock operations may affect access to the river portion, so local conditions should be checked before planning a trip.
