    Suwannee River boat ramp

    I want to go fish the Suwannee River below Fanning Springs in the near future. I would like to try to find a ramp closer to the coast than Hinton Landing. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I want to avoid having to make a long run in the boat from Hinton Landing down to the lower end of the river where I want to fish. I also want to avoid putting my trailer in any salt water. Picky huh?

    Any information would be appreciated.

    Re: Suwannee River boat ramp (Olebiker)

    Staying on the Dixie County side, there's Pine Landing, which isn't but a mile or so down from Hinton, then Yellow Jacket is one of very few between there and Suwanneetown. Down at Suwanneetown there are a couple of fee ramps (marinas) and one public one called Angler's, which I've heard is not so great right now with the river so low. On the East side of the River there's Clay Landing, Camp Azalea, then Fowler's Bluff as you head downriver. Fowlers' is the farthest south short of Suwanneetown. This link shows pretty much every ramp on the river:

    Yellow Jacket is a public landing next to a campground. I've used it in the past, but not lately. No actual ramp, but I've never had a problem launching bassboats there. Fowlers has an actual ramp. I don't use it, but know several people who use it regularly with no problems. I typically put in at Clay Landing, but I only go down to the mouth on occasion.

    yellow jacket would be on the n. side or west side of the river and and just below hinton. fowlers bluff is on the s. side or east side and a decent ramp.its the last public ramp before suwannee town.your still 16mi. from suwannee town.clay landing is above fowlers and a good launch.the river is low and super clear.if i wanted to fish the lower end i would put in at suwannee town and just wash boat and trailer real good.
