Please Note:
Blue Heron House offers direct canal access to Crystal River, which leads to the Gulf of America approximately 7 miles down the river.
Our private dock is being completed in phases between guest stays. At this time, a 15-foot floating dock is available for guest use.
Boats can be launched at the Fort Island Trail Boat Ramp, located approximately 2 miles from the home. From there, you can easily navigate to the property and secure your boat to the floating dock during your stay.
