Stan Blum Memorial Park boat launch
Stan Blum Memorial Park
However, in general, boat ramps in Florida are typically designed for various types of watercraft, including boats, kayaks, canoes, and jet skis. The width of a boat ramp can vary depending on its location and the volume of water traffic it receives, but most boat ramps in Florida are at least 20 feet wide.
The body of water that a boat ramp services can also vary, from rivers and lakes to bays and oceans. In Florida, there are numerous bodies of water that are popular for boating, including the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, Lake Okeechobee, and the St. Johns River.
In terms of permitted watercraft, Florida has regulations in place that require boats to be registered and follow certain safety measures. Certain watercraft, such as airboats, personal watercraft, and sailboards, may also have additional regulations or restrictions. It's important to check with local authorities or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to determine what types of watercraft are permitted in a specific area.

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 Stan Blum Memorial Park as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Stan Blum Memorial Park
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.
