Fishing this water
Plan your trip
Satsuma’s creekside camps and Pomona Park’s Dunns Creek State Park address help you plan this stretch. San Mateo belongs to the nearby river and road corridor.
Choose whether you want a creekside stay, a fishing platform or a boat launch. Brown’s Landing is across the St. Johns from the creek area, so using it means crossing the main river.
Access & launch planning
Dunns Creek State Park lists a fishing platform and a floating canoe/kayak launch at the end of its main drive. For a trailered boat, compare mapped ramps and arrange creekside camp access directly with the operator. Camp docks and ramps may have guest restrictions or fees.
