Lake Alto Park Boat Ramp temporarily closed to motorized watercraft

Press release from Alachua County

WALDO, Fla. – Alachua County Parks and Open Spaces is notifying residents and visitors that the Lake Alto Park boat ramp (17800 NE 31st Place, Waldo) is temporarily closed to the launching of motorized watercraft.

Water levels on Lake Alto have dropped significantly due to ongoing dry conditions, making motorized launching unsafe. The boat ramp remains open for paddlecrafts, such as kayaks and canoes.

At this time, there is no estimated date for reopening the boat ramp to motorized vessels. The timeline will depend on future rainfall and resulting water level increases.
