This is another crazy idea Florida has on how to spend money they don’t have. They are putting Palm trees up For some ungodly reason. I believe they just like to spend money they don’t have so they can raise taxes

429SCJ, you don’t want to be in a tube past muscogee, the river becomes very deeop and slow with no place to stop just south of the interstate about half a mile. A canoe will be okay but like I said, there is no place to stop, no sand bars like you have North of Muscogee, south of Muscogee the river starts to change in a significant way just past the muscogee bridge down river.

Why, is a boat ramp being built next to Rubys at all ? Drive the 2 miles to Seminole, Rubys, or go back towards Pensacola across from weigh station on Perdido WMA to a nice recreation and concrete boat lauch. Damn, put it in Molino or north.

I would like to see one up at Walnut Hill. It would be nice to be able to drop ones canoe, or tube, in and travel all the way down to Ruby’s. Currently you have to drag your gear through tick infested forest to get to the river near Brushy Creek in the Walnut Hill/Enon metro.

>>>How come the county website says it will cost $2.3 million?
That is a big difference then the $1.2 mil reported above.

Thanks for pointing out that difference. The story above was based a press release yesterday from the Florida Department of Environmental management, which stated $1.2 million.

I checked with the county…they are using $2.3 million to include the cost of land acquisition, which DEP did not.

I”ve updated the story to reflect both numbers with an explanation.

It is basically right in front of Ruby’s Fish Camp.
Northeast corner of the Mobile Hwy bridge over the river.

P.S.
How come the county website says it will cost $2.3 million?
That is a big difference then the $1.2 mil reported above.

Lets see, story says Hwy 90 and Perdido River.
How about beside Rubys Fish Camp. Ala/Fla line on Hwy 90.

Where is the location of this new boat ramp? Amazing that all of the news stories I’ve seen fail to mention that…

They need to look at the chain link fence as you come out from the location. It runs by Hwy 90 and creates a blind spot when entering onto 90.
