Eldred's is a LONG, slow way from I-75, just right next door to Dog Island. Venice ramp is really nice, but check the no wake zones going south, there are a lot of them. Eldred charges to launch and park, but it is before you get to the toll bridge. Parking isn't much, think it was $16 for three days last time I was there and it is one of the few places where I feel totally safe leaving my truck and trailer overnight. They are a bunch of old Florida crackers who live on the property and do things their way. They take a very dim view of those who don't pay or try to steal stuff from their customers. DonV's buddy is lucky all they did was tow his truck.
