Volusia County Closes Two Boat Ramps Due to High Water Levels
Posted On: November 3, 2025
Volusia County has temporarily closed two public boat ramps due to elevated water levels and submerged hazards that pose safety risks to boaters.
The affected facilities are:
- Mariner's Cove Park Boat Ramp, 1199 Enterprise-Osteen Road, Enterprise
- Highbanks Boat Ramp, 499 Highbanks Road, DeBary
The closures are necessary to protect public safety as high water has created dangerous conditions, including submerged obstacles that are difficult to detect and could cause injury or vessel damage.
County staff will continue monitoring water levels and conditions at both locations. The ramps will reopen once waters recede to safe levels and hazards are cleared.
Boaters are encouraged to check the County's website at www.volusia.org/parks or call the Parks, Recreation and Culture Division at 386-736-5953 for updates on ramp status and alternative launch locations.
