Non Moterized boat launc area
About
This non-motorized boat launch area in Florida sits about 3 miles from the town of Cortez. As the name suggests, it is set aside for craft without motors, so plan on paddling or rowing rather than launching a powerboat. The most comfortable stretch for getting on the water runs from late fall through spring. Typical averages from the nearby Sarasota Bradenton airport weather station show highs from the low 70s to about 80°F between November and March, with only five or six wet days a month in March and April. Summer typical highs reach about 90°F, with the most wet days of the year. Eagle Loop starts just 0.2 miles away, which makes it easy to pair a paddle with a short walk. Emerson Point Park Trail is about 2 miles off, and Leffis Key Trail lies roughly 4 miles away.
