Technically a freshwater ramp that can give access to the Gulf of Mexico through the Gulf County Canal. The purchase of a combination salt and freshwater fishing license will keep you on the proper side of the regulations, the lines defining the boundries of salt verses freshwater fishing are many times left up to the enforcement agency. Always be aware of any special regulations regarding specific species.

1.7 miles to the Gulf County Canal and then 5.5 miles on the canal to St Josephs Bay.
