I guess we could have been more specific on location for those who are not local. The roads described in the first post can best be found on Google or MapQuest.com by using Fort McCoy, FL.

We would welcome some more boats to join us this Saturday evening. Please meet us at Ferry Landing boatramp at 7 pm Saturday , June 14th.
This boat ramp is on the east side of Ocklawaha River, directly across from Orange Springs Creek. This is where is power lines ran across the river. Entry fee is lonly $15, and proceeds will be used to purchase trash barrels for remote boat ramps along the Ocklawaha River. Bring your bow, gig, or fishing pole, and help remove a trash fish, or 50 trash fish from the river.
