Closure of ramp on PC41 Canal starting Jan. 27 necessary for ongoing maintenance of regional flood protection system

The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) will temporarily close a boat ramp in Highlands County starting Jan. 27 in order to replace several culverts as part of ongoing maintenance of the regional flood control system.

The boat ramp is north of State Road 70 where it crosses the PC41 Canal west of the Kissimmee River in Highlands County. The boat ramp is expected to be reopened to the public by May 1 once the culverts are replaced.

Anglers and boaters can access local waterways from several access points through public boat ramps. Visit FWC’s Boat Ramp Finder to find one near you.
