Arlington Lions Club ramp is located in a recreational area with many amenities including picnic areas and nature trails. The ramp is in good condition, and is an excellent alternative to Arlington Road Ramp (7). Loading and unloading of boats can be challenging during times of peak current flow. Some shoaling has occurred in the ramp area and adjacent to the docks. Parking is adequate for similar ramps of this size.

Lonnie Wurn ramp is a new facility located in Mill Cove in the St. Johns River. This single lane ramp provides access to the northern portions of the river and Mill Cove. The ramp is part of a recreational park that also has a fishing pier and playground. The level of usage at the ramp is influenced by tides, and is very shallow at lower tides. The entrance channel is reportedly shallow as well.

Comments: 5AM-10PM. This ramp located at the confluence of Sisters Creek and the St. Johns River is a well utilized ramp for offshore and inshore boaters. Since the construction of the new Sisters Creek Marina/Kingfish site, some of the crowds have been reduced by boaters using the alternate site. However, this ramp is always at capacity on weekends and some weekdays during the summer. Overall, the ramp is in excellent condition and well regarded by boaters.

Sisters Creek Park: ICW at 8203 Heckscher Dr. (Bridge); recently improved double-wide ramp opened last September; adequate parking and new floating concrete docks; restrooms, paved parking lot, other park amenities are currently under construction, but ramp remains open except for brief periods; can't be used much of July because of use of site by Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament.

Important notice: Sisters Creek Marina will serve as the host site for this year's Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament July 5 through July 27. During this time, the boat ramps and park will be closed to the general public. 

During this time, the closest available boat ramps will be Joe Carlucci and Palms Fish Camp boat ramps.
