Bowline Road Boat Ramp Closed for Repairs

The boat ramp at Bowline and Barrancas Drive closed September 6, 2011 for repairs, and is supposed to be open again in about a month.  I rode my bike up there this morning and it looks like they're still working on it.  Fortunately, there are other great places to put in your boat on Pine Island. 

You can put a boat in at:

* The Matlacha Park and Boatramp
*  The Commercial Marina on Maria Drive
*  The Monroe Canal Marina in St.  James City
*  The Pineland Marina in Pineland

To launch your kayak, you can also go to Batty's Landing, just off Pineland Road near the Randell Research Center in Pineland, at the kayak launch in Matlacha Park, at Tropical Point Park in St. James City, or at Gulf Coast Kayak, on the north side of Pine Island road in Matlacha, near the Old Fish House.

Pine Island has probably better public water access than any other community in Southwest Florida, within easy reach of Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, San Carlos Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
