The boat ramp at Indian Mound Park in Englewood, provides convenient access to some of the best waters in SW Florida.
LOCATION
Indian Mound Park is located just north of the Beach Rd. bridge heading out to Englewood Beach. It’s a short, 20 minute boat ride to Stump Pass and also serves as a gateway to Palm Island and DON PEDRO ISLAND STATE PARK.

RAMP
The ramp is clean and well maintained and has four lanes. The ramp angle is shallow for minimal strain on your truck however, that same angle may cause you to edge closer to the water during launching and retrieving. It’s worth mentioning that because of the position of the ramp, a strong northwest wind can make the conditions choppy.
PARKING
The parking lot is hard-packed sand and consists of 36 parking spaces for vehicles with trailers. It’s a little tight (even when not full) so be aware and park accordingly. There is no cost to park and there are streetlights to assist you when you return after sunset.
