St. Lucie County Boat Ramps

St. Lucie County splits its public launches into intracoastal ramps near Fort Pierce and river ramps at White City Park and River Park Marina, and Port St. Lucie runs two more (St. Lucie County alternate ramp list).

The county list also names three more intracoastal launches near the Fort Pierce Inlet without a separate directory entry: the Fort Pierce Manatee Center, Fishermans Wharf and the South Beach Causeway (county list of available boat ramps). Addresses in the table come from the county facility pages for Stan Blum (Stan Blum Boat Ramp listing), Little Mud Creek (Little Mud Creek Boat Ramp listing), North Causeway Island Park (North Causeway Island Park listing), White City Park (White City Park listing) and River Park Marina (River Park Marina listing), and from the Port St. Lucie park pages for C-24 Canal Park (C-24 Canal Park page) and Veterans Park at Rivergate (Veterans Park at Rivergate page).

The Stan Blum Boat Ramp at 613 North Causeway is a county intracoastal launch with four boat ramps, a floating dock and a restroom, and its listed phone is (772) 462-1522 (St. Lucie County facility directory, Stan Blum).

On South Hutchinson Island, the Little Mud Creek Boat Ramp sits at 5460 S. Ocean Drive, Fort Pierce, and its county entry lists a boat ramp as its amenity (county facility directory, Little Mud Creek). The county alternate list adds the Fort Pierce Manatee Center, Fishermans Wharf and the South Beach Causeway as intracoastal access points (county NCIP closure page).

The county's Port of Fort Pierce page gives coordinates for five ramps it marks as Boat Ramp Locations with no overnight parking: Stan Blum, Black Pearl, Manatee, Jaycee Park and South Causeway (St. Lucie County anchoring limitation areas page). The same page lists the Fort Pierce City Marina at 772-464-1245 among local fuel and pump out locations and says Fort Pierce Marina monitors VHF-FM Channel 16 for emergency, distress and hailing calls.

The county lists White City Park in Fort Pierce and River Park Marina in Port St. Lucie as its river boat ramps, and the City of Port St. Lucie adds C-24 Canal Park and Veterans Park at Rivergate (county river boat ramp list).

River Park Marina, at 500 E Prima Vista Blvd., Port St. Lucie, combines its ramp with canoe access, fishing docks, a hiking trail, a playground, a pavilion and restrooms, and the county posts (772) 462-2110 as its phone (county facility directory, River Park Marina). White City Park at 2081 W Midway Road in Fort Pierce lists a boat ramp, canoe access, fishing piers and a rentable pavilion under the same county number (county facility directory, White City Park).

C-24 Canal Park covers approximately 9 acres at 500 SE Oakridge Drive in Port St. Lucie, with four boat ramp lanes that the city describes as having direct river and ocean access, approximately 74 parking spaces for vehicles with trailers and approximately 11 for single vehicles; it opens 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to sunset, and the contact is 772-878-2277 (City of Port St. Lucie, C-24 Canal Park). Veterans Park at Rivergate, 2200 SE Veterans Memorial Parkway, has three boat ramps open 24/7 with lighted car and trailer parking, a handicapped boat entry lift available through Port St. Lucie Parks and Recreation staff, and the Pearl Harbor Memorial Monument (City of Port St. Lucie, Veterans Park at Rivergate).

St. Lucie County posts park and ramp closures on its Parks and Recreation closures page, which gives the reason for each closure and its projected reopening (St. Lucie County Parks and Recreation closures).

Read on October 22, 2026, that page listed North Causeway Park, at 500 N. Causeway on North Hutchinson Island, for renovations that replace and expand the existing boat ramp and parking area to create a safer, ADA accessible boat launch with additional trailer and ADA trailer parking spaces, plus updated restrooms, pavilions, picnic tables, a kayak and canoe launch area, improved lighting and upgraded stormwater and utility systems (closures page, North Causeway Park). The Board of County Commissioners awarded a $3,190,704 contract in February 2024 to Vecellio & Grogan Inc. for the renovations, and part of the funding comes from a $1.27 million grant from the Florida Inland Navigation District and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

A separate county page on the North Causeway Island Park boat ramp thanks the Florida Inland Navigation District and the Florida Boating Improvement Program as grant funding partners for the new ramp, docks, parking and restroom facility (NCIP boat ramp page). The North Causeway Island Park directory entry lists a boat ramp, kayak and canoe launch, fishing piers, a picnic table, a pavilion and restrooms among its amenities (county facility directory, North Causeway Island Park).

The same closures page listed Harbour Pointe Park, a 26 acre waterfront park at 1 Avenue M Extension in Fort Pierce, while the county builds a new entrance north of the existing one at the end of North Second Street, and it names a new regional boat ramp among the park's future developments (closures page, Harbour Pointe Park).

Overnight parking is not allowed at the Stan Blum, Black Pearl, Manatee, Jaycee Park and South Causeway ramps, which the county lists as Boat Ramp Locations with no overnight parking on its Port of Fort Pierce page (St. Lucie County anchoring limitation areas page).

St. Lucie County and the City of Fort Pierce set up the two anchoring areas to cut long-term anchoring near the federal channel and turning basin, and exemptions cover government vessels, construction and dredging boats on active sites, commercial fishing, recreational fishing with gear actively tended, riparian owners and vessels on the marked Intracoastal Waterway (county anchoring limitation areas page). Agencies on the Fort Pierce waterways include the U.S. Coast Guard at 772-464-6100, the St. Lucie County Sheriff at 772-462-7300 and Fort Pierce Waterway Code Enforcement at 772-464-1245.

Hours differ by ramp: C-24 Canal Park opens from 8 a.m. to sunset (C-24 Canal Park hours), while the Veterans Park at Rivergate ramps in Port St. Lucie are posted as open 24/7 (Veterans Park at Rivergate amenities). Last verified: October 22, 2026, from the county alternate ramp list and closures list, five county facility directory entries, two Port St. Lucie park pages and the Port of Fort Pierce anchoring page.
