About Venice Myakka River Park Canoe and Kayak Launch Dock

Venice Myakka River Park Canoe and Kayak Launch Dock is a public boat ramp in Sarasota County, Florida. It is managed by Sarasota County. 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 floating kayak launch dock is available to help with boarding and loading. The site is government-owned and open for general public use. No launch fee is required. Posted hours are posted hours to sunset.

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.
