On Islamorada, at MM 72–90

Islamorada Founders Park and Public Boat Ramp sits in Islamorada (Upper Keys, MM 72–90). A six-island village with sportfishing, galleries, waterfront restaurants and family attractions. This listing is for launch planning—trailer parking, depth, resident rules and a backup ramp matter more than a spot on the map.

Other planning-useful public launches on Islamorada include Green Turtle Hammock Nature Preserve. Those are named public or park ramps to compare—not generic map labels such as “Boat launch” or “Canoe Launch.” Confirm trailer parking and access on each source, then save a legal same-region backup in the trip planner.

How to use this listing

Islamorada Founders Park and Public Boat Ramp is listed as a mapped boat ramp or launch in Islamorada (Upper Keys, MM 72–90). A mapped ramp is not a promise of trailer parking, depth, hours or non-resident access.

Match the vessel and tide to the facility before you hitch up. Monroe County and park ramps publish resident and parking rules on their own pages; map entries do not. Save a second legal launch in the same region in the trip planner, and do not park on residential shoulders if the lot is full.
