Small residential marina with limited slips and adjacent unpaved parking area near a river channel.
Located in Jacksonville, Florida, at coordinates 30.2818, -81.7400, the Curtis Lee Johnson Marina Park Public Boat Ramp sits along the St. Johns River. Operated by the City of Jacksonville, the facility offers direct access to this major waterway, which flows through the region and connects to the Intracoastal Waterway. It primarily supports recreational boating, including vessel launches for fishing, cruising, and exploring the river's estuarine environment.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
