Florida's wildlife agency (FWC) publishes the state boat ramp inventory, but its fee entries carry no date. On 51 ramps, the owner's own page now lists something different. Each line below says what FWC lists, what the owner lists, and the owner source. None of this is confirmed by phone yet, so call before you go.
Where an FWC number looks higher because it includes park admission, we do not flag it. We flag only clear differences in amount, in who pays, or in whether a fee exists.
