Imperial River Boat Ramp has two ramps, a paddlecraft launch and a fishing pier reached by a short walkway, and parking is $5 per day per vehicle. The county says: “All vehicles must pay a parking fee of $5 per day, per vehicle, to park onsite” (Lee County Parks & Recreation, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). The address is 27551 South Tamiami Trail, Bonita Springs, FL 34134. Hours are “Dawn to Dusk.”
The page says: “This facility has two boat ramps, a paddlecraft launch, a small wooden walking path to a fishing pier, and restrooms.” Amenities also list a Boardwalk, Viewing Areas, Bicycling/Bike Trails and on-leash dog walking.
“There are separate parking areas for vehicles with or without boat trailers. Parking limited to 72 hours for vehicles with trailers.” The county parking page lists the ramp at “$5 per day,” Monday to Sunday, and the ramp page says the Lee County Annual Parking Pass is valid here (Lee County, retrieved Oct. 6, 2026). Our Lee County ramp and parking fees page lists the other ramps.
The page draws a line: “Fishing is not allowed in the boat launch area (boat ramp, kayak launch, or boat dock).” The fishing pier is the fishing spot. The page does not state pier hours, rod limits or pier length.
The county says: “A Saltwater Fishing License is required to saltwater fish from shore or pedestrian boardwalk. There is no fee for a Resident Annual Saltwater Shoreline Fishing License.” The boardwalk is named, so a license applies there too. Our license guide covers the options.
The contact listed is (239) 229-0632. For other Estero Bay and Bonita Springs access, see our Estero and Bonita Springs shore and kayak guide.
