Yellow Jacket Landing Boat Ramp

Yellow Jacket Landing is a public access point on the Suwannee River in Dixie County, offering a convenient put-in for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. Located off CR 349, the landing features an unpaved ramp adjacent to a campground with approximately 20-25 parking spaces and basic facilities including restrooms. While there is a ramp fee and the facility operates during daylight hours, this is a popular and reliable launch site that has been successfully used by various watercraft, including larger bass boats.

The Suwannee River in this area offers diverse paddling opportunities, from relaxed day trips to longer expeditions. Just downstream, the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge protects 20 miles of river habitat and 30 miles of coastal marshes along the Gulf of Mexico, making this an excellent starting point for exploring one of Florida's most scenic rivers. Paddlers should plan their trips according to river conditions and tide influence in this lower section, and may want to consider nearby alternatives like Clay Landing or Fowlers Ramp depending on their specific needs.
