Little Manatee River State Park - River Steps Canoe Launch (TEMPORARILY CLOSED)

This canoe/kayak launch at Little Manatee River State Park is currently temporarily closed due to river undermining and erosion that has created unsafe conditions for paddlers.

The facility includes broad concrete steps that can still be used for fishing and as a scenic river overlook while repairs are planned.

Once reopened, it will provide access to the 10-mile designated paddling trail on the Little Manatee River, an Outstanding Florida Water featuring pristine blackwater stream conditions.
