Boat trailer parking at Horton Park Boat Ramp in Cape Coral “requires an annual permit or daily fee of $15,” paid through the Passport Parking app, and the zone number to enter is 1958 (City of Cape Coral, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). The city describes the site as a “5-acre saltwater boat launch facility” with river access to the Gulf, about 10.9 statute miles from the Sanibel Causeway Bridge.
The city says to pay through the Passport Parking app on a smartphone, tablet or computer, or call (239) 424-9459 to register. Its reminders: “Pay for parking BEFORE launching your vessel,” enter the tow vehicle license plate number and not the trailer plate number, and enter the zone number of the ramp. The city adds that Park Rangers and law enforcement patrol the park locations daily and “must issue violation tickets to any vehicles/trailers that do not pay the daily fee or have a current resident or commercial decal.”
The boat ramp program page says Cape Coral residents can buy an annual decal for “only $75 (+ tax) or a two year pass for $150 (+ tax).” Decals “are only available to Cape Coral residents and Cape Coral-based businesses.” Questions go to the Parks and Recreation Department at (239) 573-3128.
The park page lists Boat Ramp, Picnic Pavilions, Playground Equipment (ages 3-12 yrs), Cornhole Court, Restrooms, Walking Path and Benches. The page does not state hours, a trailer space count or any fishing rule at the ramp. The same city page lists five improved ramps on Passport: BMX Boat Ramp (zone 1960), Burnt Store Boat Ramp (1961), Crystal Lake Park (1962), Horton Park (1958) and Rosen Park (1959).
