Large 22ft+ Site Details
Conditions change rapidly due to water levels, prop wash, and weather. Always visually inspect before backing down.
RampConcrete, 1 lane
Water DepthNot published. This is the shallowest-feeling launch on the chain and FWC rates its accessibility “low”; with the pool about 1.3 ft below its regulation schedule as of 19 July 2026, expect less water on the concrete than the ramp implies. Walk it before you back a heavy rig down.
DockNo dock — FWC records “No Docks” at this site. Bring a bow line and a helper.
Trailer Parking3 spots · unpaved — gravel, limestone and packed soil, condition recorded as good
Crowding Small and easily filled. FWC records three trailer spaces plus one accessible space; Osceola County’s page describes room for roughly ten trailers. Both agree on one lane, so the constraint is the ramp itself rather than the parking. A single slow launch stops the line.
Plan B — if this lot is full Same pool, different water: the C-Gate 33 Boat Ramp off Hickory Tree Road is Alligator Lake’s own ramp, about seven miles away as the crow flies and a trailer trip around the chain by road — it has a dock, which this site does not. Smith’s Landing on Lake Gentry is roughly eight miles off and is a DIFFERENT pool below the S-60 spillway; you must trailer to it and no boat reaches it from this water.
FeeNo launch fee recorded — FWC’s inventory shows no fee required and no collection method at this site, but that layer is a 2009 field survey and Osceola County does not publish a fee for this ramp either way. Expect it to be free; call Osceola County parks at 407-742-0375 if you need that confirmed before you tow.
HoursSunrise to sunset (Osceola County park hours). FWC’s ramp inventory lists this site as open 24 hours; the county’s posted park hours are more restrictive, so plan around sunrise-to-sunset.
SeasonOpen year-round
AccessibilityFWC records a “low level of accessibility” with one accessible trailer space, no dock and no restroom. If accessibility matters, use the C-Gate 33 ramp instead and call 407-742-0375 first.

Scout's Notes
Ramp Quirks & Etiquette
This Ramp Is Not on Alligator Lake
The concrete here goes into Trout Lake, at the far northeast end of the chain. It's listed on this page because Trout and Alligator are one undivided pool — no structure sits between them, and the Corps gauges all five chain lakes on one line. You can reach Alligator Lake from here by boat; you'll be running most of the chain to do it.
One Lane, No Dock
Both FWC and Osceola County record a single lane, and FWC records no dock at all — unusually, this is one attribute where the two sources agree outright. Three trailer spaces in FWC’s survey against the county’s roughly ten; either way it is a small site with gravel parking and no restroom. Bring a bow line, bring a helper, and do not plan to rig at the water’s edge on a Saturday.
Sunrise to Sunset, Not 24 Hours
FWC’s ramp inventory lists this site as open 24 hours; the county’s posted park hours are more restrictive, so plan around sunrise-to-sunset. Osceola County owns the gate. Give yourself daylight for the run back up the canals — it is a long way from Alligator Lake to this ramp in the dark.
