Oscar Scherer State Park - Accessible Paddlecraft Launch

Oscar Scherer State Park - Accessible Paddlecraft Launch is a public boat ramp in Sarasota County, Florida. It is managed by Florida Department of Environmental Protection. 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. A launch dock is available to help with boarding and loading. The site is government-owned and open for general public use. A launch fee is required — bring a way to pay. Posted hours are posted hours until sunset, 365 days a year.

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.
