Default Peanut Island ramp?

http://www.pbcgov.com/parks/philfoster/

Looks nice from the pics. Couldn't find a launch/parking fee on the site, but I have to believe it costs something. Does it get packed/full?

Its a public ramp I don't think there is any cost. I know the parking spaces are not very long. There is a ramp north in jupiter that is the one I use. Any of these ramps doo fill qick on a nice weekend. Pm me if you want more details.

Thanks! How's the boat?
A buddy is thinking about going to Peanut Island for the weekend and neither of us had been there. I'd rather run the boat, but with conditions like this weekend, and the slow pain of the ICW, running the trailer is the lesser of all evils.

I have never used the ramp there, but hear it is in a somewhat shady area if your concerned with your Truck. We may be going to Peanut on Sunday, weather permitting, and if I get my motor back together tomorrow. We Launch in Delray, or Lantana, and run up from there. Let me know if ya wanna meet up.

Nice ramp, it is free as of last summer, not nice area though for sure. We use it when we stay at SailFish.

Boat is good. Don't think I will be out this weekend but maybe next weekend. Pm me some time when you know you are going to go. We can meet up. And if its ruff out you can anchor at peanut island and get a ocean ride in the Apache

Also here is a good site with lots of info.

The area on the other side of the bridge is not so nice. The area that the launch is at is just fine. Ive used the ramp before with my Old Topgun and it was fine. Stop at the Sailfish for dinner when you are done across at Peanut Island
