Kirkpatrick Dam Boat Ramp
Kirkpatrick Dam Boat Ramp
Kirkpatrick Dam Boat Ramp is a two-lane paved boat ramp on the lower east side of the Rodman Dam spillway with parking, potable water, picnic pavilions, and restrooms.
The ramp provides access to the lower Ocklawaha River below the dam, making it ideal for both motorized boating and canoe/kayak launches for paddling downstream toward Highway 19.
This is also a soft launch point for paddlers, with easy access to a scenic 7+ mile paddle route through pristine natural landscape.
