Boat Ramp Parking

Boat Ramp Parking Fees

You can pay boat ramp parking fees daily at a pay station or buy a permit for 12 months. If you choose to pay at a pay station, you will need to enter a vehicle tag number. Please note that our pay stations are cashless and only accept Visa, MasterCard, or American Express credit card payments. The pay-by-plate system replaces the need to display parking receipts.

Daily Parking Fees

  • The daily parking fee at Fort De Soto Park is $5 for a vehicle without a trailer.
