J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge - Wildlife Drive Kayak Site West

J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge - Wildlife Drive Kayak Site West is a public boat ramp in Lee County, Florida. It is managed by United States Fish and Wildlife Service. It is listed as a hand launch only.

It is a hand-launch only site — there is no trailer ramp, so it suits car-top boats, kayaks, and canoes rather than trailered vessels. There is no dock at this site. The site is government-owned and open for general public use. A launch fee is required — bring a way to pay. Posted hours are sunrise to sunset, closed fridays.

This is a boat ramp facility only — come prepared with your own vessel and gear. As with any public ramp, parking, water levels, and conditions at the water's edge can vary, so it's worth checking locally before you go, especially outside daylight hours.
