Small boat ramp with unpaved parking area and minimal infrastructure in a wooded river setting.
Located in the Ocala National Forest near Fort McCoy, Florida, the Salt Springs Run Marina and Landing sits amid the region’s characteristic pine flatwoods and spring-fed landscapes. Operated by the United States Forest Service, it provides access to Salt Springs Run, a clear, slow-moving waterway that flows toward larger bodies such as Lake George. The facility supports recreational boating, including both motorized craft and paddle vessels, for travel along the forest’s natural channels and connected waters.
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.
