St. Marks Lighthouse Boat Ramp
Does anyone have any information on how shallow it is in and out of the boat ramp located in the St. Marks Refuge at the lighthouse? What would be the minimum draft at low tide? I can't find this information anywhere.

Seatrout, my boat draws about 24" with the motor trimmed up but I'd like to be on the safe side and go no less than 30"-36". It's a 23' Walkaround.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Afternoon Speedy,
Tom and ST are sending you in the safe direction. I have seen times when I needed to wait an hour or so for water to put in my 19' carolina skiff. The floating dock was resting flat on dry ground that particular day. The basin its self isn't too bad but there is a very skinny spot just as you exit the channel, given the right circumstances you'd probably be in trouble there.
