Everglades National Park
Marinas & Boat Ramps

Marinas
The Flamingo Marina, open year-round, can accommodate more than 50 boats with electric and water hookups. The channel will accept a four foot maximum draft. Boat fuel is available for sale. 

Boat Ramps
From the park's Florida City entrance, boat ramps are located at both West Lake (vessel and motor size restrictions apply) and Flamingo. 

For access to the Ten Thousand Islands, additional boat ramps are located at Everglades City.  For access to Northeast Florida Bay, the Little Blackwater Sound boat ramp is located just off US1 enroute to the Florida Keys.  Visitors should be advised that this ramp is best suited for small vessels.

Kayaking and canoeing are superb ways to visit the habitats of Everglades National Park. Paddle through shady mangrove tunnels, bright sawgrass prairies, open ponds and lakes, or along the stunning coastlines for an experience you’ll never forget!
