About Plantation Tropical Preserve Paddle Craft Launch
Plantation Tropical Preserve Paddle Craft Launch is a public boat ramp in Monroe County, Florida. It is managed by Village of Islamorada. 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 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 sunrise 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.
