Conditions change rapidly due to water levels, prop wash, and weather. Always visually inspect before backing down.
RampConcrete. FWC rates the ramp condition "Needs Repair.", 1 lane
Water DepthNot published. No agency source gives a depth at this ramp, and there is no public stage gauge for the reservoir. Scout it on foot before backing a trailer down.
DockNone. FWC records DockType "No Docks."
Trailer Parking6 spots · not paved — gravel, limestone or packed soil. fwc rates the parking condition good.
Crowding Probably academic. Six gravel trailer spaces is the whole recorded capacity, and no Manatee County source lists this ramp at all — hard to believe it carries much traffic or much maintenance. No use data exists.
Plan B — if this lot is full Lake Manatee State Park's double concrete ramp, about 2.5 miles west, is the lake's only access any agency will confirm is operating. It costs $5 vehicle entrance plus a $4 ramp fee, opens at 8 a.m. and closes the gate at sundown, and has 17 paved trailer spaces and floating docks. If you are towing, go there first.
FeeNo fee in FWC's record; no Manatee County page confirms or contradicts it.
HoursFWC's row records "24 Hours." No Manatee County page we read on 2026-07-31 corroborates that, and a gated utility-adjacent access could differ.
SeasonNo seasonal closure in FWC's row; no agency page corroborates it.
AccessibilityFWC records "No Accommodations for Accessibility," with 0 accessible trailer spaces and 0 accessible vehicle spaces.

Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
Plan Around the State Park
Only one Lake Manatee access can be confirmed as operating, and it is not this one. No Manatee County source lists this ramp, and FWC's own record rates it “Needs Repair.” If you are towing, go to Lake Manatee State Park first and treat this as a lead to check, not a plan.
Expect Primitive
FWC's record — 2009-era and uncorroborated by any current agency page — describes a single concrete lane, six gravel trailer spaces, a portable toilet, no docks, no fee and 24-hour access. Scout on foot before backing a trailer down.
Navigate by Coordinates
FWC's street address (23745 County Road 675, Myakka City) sits roughly ten miles from the coordinates in the same record, and FWC's fishing page puts the ramp “off Highway 64.” Drive to 27.47659, -82.30165, not the address.
Same 20 HP Cap
The motor restriction is on the lake, not the ramp: a Manatee County ordinance caps motors at roughly 20 horsepower and prohibits water-skiing, per FDEP and FWC. The ordinance text itself is not readable online, so the exactly-20 case stays unsettled here too.
The FWC Florida Boat Ramp Inventory layer 4 row for MA70019BR; FWC's Lake Manatee fishing page; Manatee County's "Find a Boat Ramp" service page and Paddle Manatee launch guide; FDEP's Lake Manatee State Park Experiences & Amenities page — all read or re-read 2026-07-31. FWC's layer-wide last_edited_date is not used as a verification date.
