Ocala National Forest - Alexander Springs Recreation Area Paddlecraft Launch is a public boat ramp in Lake County, Florida. It is managed by United States Forest 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.

Confirm current hours locally before arriving.
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.
