Lake Apopka North Shore Boat Ramp

The McDonald Canal Boat Ramp (North Shore Trailhead) provides ADA-compliant access to the Apopka-Beauclair Canal with a boat ramp, floating dock, and kayak launch for paddlers and boaters.

The small county park includes amenities such as picnic tables, a pavilion, vault toilets, and potable water—making it a convenient base for exploring Lake Apopka and Lake Beauclair.

Paddlers can enjoy a 5-mile round-trip to Lake Apopka, with easier return paddling as water flows northward out of the lake.
