Camp Blanding FMA - Magnolia Lake Boat Ramp (Saturday & Sunday Mornings Only) is a freshwater boat ramp on Magnolia Lake, and it earns its spot in Clay County thanks to easy access and quick water. Boaters here tend to be a friendly, early-rising bunch — get there at first light and you'll see why. It runs a single lane, so plan to arrive early on peak weekends. As of the last FWC inventory update, launching is free here.

What to know before you launch
- Clean, drain, and dry your boat between freshwater launches to help stop the spread of invasive plants like hydrilla.
- Parking and lane space can be tight on weekends; have your gear staged and your plug in before you back down.
- There are no restrooms on-site, so plan accordingly before you head out.
- Always check current tides, wind, and marine forecasts before you launch — Florida afternoons can turn stormy fast.
