Parking Lot #7 Canoe Launch on River Road in Canaveral National Seashore
See the Boat Launches web page for an interactive location map.
Just south of the Apollo Beach Visitor Center at Canaveral National Seashore is a one-way road called River Road (aka Eldora Loop Road) that branches off from the main park road and leads to the former resort community of Eldora. Along the road are four parking areas that are numbered starting at 6, a continuation of the beach parking lot numbering system. At Parking Lot #7 is a canoe launch on Mosquito Lagoon. It is located right next to the parking area, so you don’t need to carry your equipment very far. This canoe launch much easier to access than the one at Parking Lot #6 just around the corner.
A short trail (one-minute walk) leads to a picnic table and a fishing pier. You can also access the pier from the Eldora State House (Parking Lot #8), but Parking Lot #7 is closer.

Another trail runs along the shore back to Parking Lot #6. I don’t see any reason to walk when the parking lot is just around the corner.
