Darst ramp is a salt / brackish water ramp,
on the south side of the peace river just off I-75
fishing along the shore line can produce Snook and Red fish,
Shore fishing from the Park is pretty good.
cast from the ramp to the opposites side right along the mangroves.
Launching a boat from here it batter be a skiff the water at the ramp is ok 3 to
4 feet but getting out to the river
you will encounter 12 if your lucky 18 inches of water, so be carful boys and
girls.
