Dr. Willard "Bill" Coy Preserve offers a dirt kayak ramp with free parking and no facilities, providing access to Buck Creek and the east side of Lemon Bay with marked paddling trails and available free maps.

The preserve features mangrove trails and islands to explore, with SUP Englewood offering kayak and paddleboat rentals and tours on-site, and it's only a 2. 25-mile paddle to Stump Pass Beach State Park.
