ABOUT THE BOAT RAMP – The existing boat ramp by Victory Point will be relocated to the southern bank of Lake Minneola, known as the former Bell Ceramics site. This will shift motorized watercraft away from the many non-motorized watercraft that launch from the Clermont Boat House and Victory Pointe. The new ramp will double the launch pads to four, increase parking by 50 percent, add mooring slips for peak traffic and have new restrooms. (for detailed information, visit Clermont Master Plan.
The current boat ramp will remain operational until the new ramp is completed.
