Crowder Landing boat launch
Crowder Landing
Crowder Landing is a public boat ramp located in Wakulla County, Florida. It is situated on the eastern shore of the Wakulla River, a significant tributary of the Apalachee Bay. The ramp is accessible from State Route 267, approximately 17 miles south of Tallahassee.
The boat ramp at Crowder Landing is a concrete structure with two launching lanes and a floating dock. It has a width of approximately 16 feet and a length of 40 feet, which is sufficient for most small to medium-sized boats. The ramp has a gradual slope, making it suitable for both powerboats and non-motorized watercraft.
The Wakulla River, which is serviced by Crowder Landing, is a popular destination for recreational boaters, anglers, and paddlers. The river is known for its clear waters, abundant wildlife, and scenic beauty. It is also designated as a Florida Outstanding Waterway, meaning that it is recognized for its exceptional recreational and ecological value.
Boats of various types are permitted on the Wakulla River, including canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, jon boats, and motorized vessels. However, there are some restrictions on the use of motorized boats in certain areas, such as the upper reaches of the river and the Wakulla Springs State Park. Boaters are advised to check the latest regulations and safety guidelines before launching their vessel at Crowder Landing.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Crowder Landing as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Crowder Landing
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
