Boating

 

AFTER-HOURS BOATING
Boat ramps and the adjacent docks are available for launching and retrieving vessels 24-hours a day. However, no person shall dock and remain on or in any vessel moored at the docks between sunset and sunrise.

LAUNCHING VESSELS
Motorized vessels are only permitted to launch or land at the two boat ramps located on the east side of the park. Non-motorized vessels may launch or land from the designated site located on the beach on the southwest corner of the park.

OPERATING VESSELS
Vessels are not to be operated through any designated public swimming area. For the safety of the public, as well as protection for the local manatee population, boaters are asked to observe the operating speeds established for the Boating Safety Zones located throughout the Lake Worth Lagoon.

 

Diving

 

Diving is permitted from sunrise to sunset outside of the guarded swimming area. For information on how to obtain a permit for group night dives, call (561) 963-6707.

 

Fishing

 

The park is an excellent location for anglers to test their saltwater skills in the beautiful waters of the Lake Worth Lagoon. Fishing is permitted in several locations including a large pier and two smaller fishing platforms located on the west side of the park. Fishing is prohibited in the designated swimming area, boat ramps and docks.

Fish Cleaning is only permitted at the four authorized fish cleaning stations located on the fishing pier and along the bulkhead. It is the responsibility of the fisherman to clean up and properly dispose all fish remains.

 

Swimming

 

The park offers a unique, year-round opportunity for swimming in the Intracoastal Waterway. A guarded swimming area provides easy water access for people of all ages. The adjacent beach lies in the shadow of the Blue Heron Boulevard bridge and offers the perfect opportunity to cool off from the hot sun! Swimming is prohibited outside the designated swimming area including from all docks, piers, bulkheads and boat ramps.
