Coleman Landing at Shady Oaks Recreation Area - Canoe and Kayak Launch

Coleman Landing at Shady Oaks Recreation Area - Canoe and Kayak Launch is a public boat ramp in Polk County, Florida. It is managed by Polk 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. 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 posted hours to posted hours.

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.
