Okaloosa County has opened a new boat launch at Wilderness Landing in north Okaloosa County.
Commissioner Sherry Campbell, representatives from Congressman Jeff Miller’s office, US Senator Mel Martinez’ office and community members were on-hand Tuesday, August 22nd, to officially open the county’s 13th boating facility.
The new boat launch, located approximately five miles west of Baker off of Corduroy Road, was developed through a matching $125,000 Federal Water Conservation Fund grant.
“This is a much-needed facility that will be used a great deal by both residents and visitors to our area. The water is an integral part of life in Okaloosa County and easy accessibility to it is very important to our citizens. We are pleased to have had the opportunity to partner with the Federal government and make this new boat launch a reality,” says Okaloosa County Commissioner Sherry Campbell.
