Levy County Boat Ramp Closures



April 17, 2014

The Levy County Board of County Commissioners and the Levy County Sheriff’s Office announced a combined decision to close all boat ramps on the Suwannee River.  Due to rising river conditions and hazardous navigation, the ramps at Clay Landing, Fowler’s Bluff and Camp Azalea are closed until further notice.  For vessels navigating the area of Fowlers Bluff, a no wake zone has been established by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.  The Suwannee River will be patrolled by FWC.  All agencies are asking citizens who will be on the water to be respectful of the no wake provision which will reduce damage to homes on waterfront properties.
