SUMMARY

The Big Bend Scenic Byway Forest Trail boat ramp located in Eastpoint, Florida is a popular public boat ramp that provides access to the Apalachicola Bay. It is a concrete boat ramp that measures 20 feet in width and has a gentle slope to facilitate launching and retrieving boats of various sizes. The coordinates of the ramp are 29.82362938 latitude and -84.90467834 longitude.

This boat ramp services the Apalachicola Bay, which is known for its abundant oyster beds and diverse marine life. It is a popular destination for recreational fishermen and boaters, as well as commercial fishermen who harvest oysters, shrimp, and other seafood from the bay.

Various types of watercraft are permitted on the Apalachicola Bay, including motorized boats, sailboats, kayaks, and canoes. However, it is important to note that some areas of the bay may be designated as no-wake zones or restricted areas, so boaters should be aware of any regulations and restrictions before entering the water.

The information provided is accurate to the best of my knowledge based on the latest available sources. However, it is always recommended to check with local authorities for any updates or changes in regulations before using a boat ramp.
