Butler West Boat Ramp Park Renovation

St. Johns County is pleased to announce that the Butler West and Vilano Landing boat ramps reopened to the public on the morning of Friday, May 23.

Butler West project expanded parking and extended the current floating dock. Additional funds were requested in FY24 for dredging, which will be required for use of the new dock. Other Funding is from the 2022 Capital Improvement Projects Fund. The Fiscal Year 2025 Budget for this project is $1,758,059.

The reopening of Butler West Boat Ramp marks the completion of a recent improvement project. The ramp will remain open for regular use moving forward.

The County appreciates the public’s patience during these closures and encourages residents and visitors to enjoy safe and responsible boating as the summer season approaches. As a reminder, May 17-23 is National Safe Boating Week.
