Tucked into an industrial warehouse area in West Palm Beach next to I-95 is a park on a historic canal. Head north and the canal leads to the north end of Howard Park where there is tiny pond that was once the Stub Canal and Turning Basin. The basin served as a link between West Palm Beach and the agricultural communities next to Lake Okeechobee. In 1918 an extension also called a stub from the 40 mile West Palm Beach Canal was created to carry it directly into the West Palm Beach business district. It was large enough for barges that carried passengers and produce from Belle Glade. Boat service started on May 17, 1918. After a railroad line and highway opened in 1925, boat travel fell out of favor and the 1928 Hurricane destroyed the boat docks. Now all that is left is a small retention pond with a fountain. Today you can access the Stub Canal from the 1.8 acre Stub Canal Park. You can take it south to Pine Lake or north to Howard Park. The Stub Canal Park serves as a launch area for small to medium sized boats motorized boats and jet skis and non motorized canoes and kayaks. Once you reach Pine Lake, it is a popular place for fishing where you can expect to catch largemouth black bass, spotted tilapia, bluegill, and redear sunfish. What is really nice about this park is that there is no charge for boat trailers. A lot of boat launch parks charge at least $10 to park or require a city pass. There is no meters here so you can launch and enjoy your day.
During the weekend is good. During the week, not so good people use the boat ramp to wash the salt off their boats. People on the jetski have no respect.
I was trying to figure out Why the guys on the jet skis kept coming into the Canal When they had All that water in the Lake to Ride in I Guess they was Being Rude! BUT I did Catch A 15 inche flathead Catfish fishing in the Canal I Would Definitely came back here to Fish!
Easy to launch a 22’ pontoon boat. Fresh water. Good concrete. Good spacing. No current!
All I did was launch a boat for a test drive and see if everything was ok because I repair boats at power plus marine off of Dixie hwy
