Launch is at Holbrook Park boat ramp. The kayak launch is not suitable for long boats. Trust me. I tried. My boat got totally stuck.  My scouting buddy towed my boat to the regular boat ramp.


Plan to leave the park at about 8 a.m. to shuttle to the launch and bring most cars back to the park.  Driving Instructions:

Hazards -- Slippery boat ramps, cold water, wind, alligators, cypress knees and  the occasional strainer, but no worries: the river is wide enough to get around them.
