Single-ramp access at Headwaters Lake Boat Ramp during repairs starts May 15

One ramp will remain open during repairs at Headwaters Lake Boat Ramp in Indian River County. Work begins on May 15.

PALM BAY, Fla., May 12, 2021 — Access to Headwaters Lake Boat Ramp in Indian River County will be limited to one ramp while the St. Johns River Water Management District repairs the two ramps at the popular facility beginning May 15. Limited access will continue until further notice.

Repairing the sharp drop at the edges of the two boat ramps will allow for smoother launches. One ramp will always be open while work is completed on the other ramp.

Headwaters Lake Boat Ramp is located at the District’s Fellsmere Water Management Area (FWMA), a 10,000-acre reservoir east of the St. Johns Water Management Area, known locally as the “Stick Marsh,” and is the latest addition to the Upper St. Johns River Basin Project. The FWMA boat ramp is located four miles west of Babcock Street on the Fellsmere Grade and includes 36 parking spaces, overflow parking west of and adjacent to the paved lot, and restrooms.
