Peace River Boat Ramp

The SR 60 Bridge launch in Bartow is the official starting point of the Peace River's 67-mile designated paddling trail, accommodating small boats, jon boats, canoes, and kayaks via an unimproved ramp.

Note that there is a long drag from parking to the launch, and the site is impassable at low water levels—check that the USGS gauge at Bartow has a minimum flow rate of 30 CFS before visiting.
