S-193 Taylor Creek Boat Lock Update
Category
Boaters navigating to and from Lake Okeechobee should be advised that starting on Saturday, May 31, 2025, the S-193 Boat Lock at Taylor Creek in Okeechobee County will be closed on weekends. The boat lock was already closed to navigation during the week.
The boat lock is closed because Lake Okeechobee water levels dropped below 11 feet NGVD or 9.70 feet NAVD. The boat lock will re-open to navigation as soon as specific water levels are met.
Anglers and boaters may also access local waterways through other public boat ramps. Visit FWC Boat Ramp Finder to find one near you.
