Launch located at the end of the road for the North Skyway rest area. The island is about a 2 mile paddle to the northwest. A major boat channel crossing is required, so use extreme caution as this is an extremely bust channel. On either side of the channel, its very shallow, with a No Motor Zone around the key. Great fishing, can be very crowded on the weekends as this is a major destination for the guides in the bay area..
