About This Access Site
Yankeetown Marina Company provides boat access to the Withlacoochee River, a significant coastal waterway in Florida's Nature Coast region. The Withlacoochee is a large river system with an average flow of 706 cubic feet per second and stretches 140 miles before reaching the Gulf of Mexico. At this location near Yankeetown in Levy County, the river is tidal and influenced by coastal conditions, making water levels variable depending on tide and weather patterns.

The river at this access point supports various recreational boating activities. With an average velocity of 2.83 feet per second and a relatively gentle slope of 0.8 feet per mile, the water conditions are generally manageable for experienced paddlers and motorboats. The river's large drainage area of 1212 square miles indicates substantial water volume and the site's proximity to the river mouth means paddlers and boaters should be prepared for tidal influences that affect water movement and levels throughout the day.

Paddlers and boaters using this access should be aware of the river's tidal nature and plan their trips accordingly. The Withlacoochee is a popular destination for fishing and wildlife viewing in this part of Florida's Gulf Coast. Access via a marina facility suggests amenities and support services may be available, though specific details about launch conditions, parking, and fees should be confirmed directly with the facility.
