Clean.. great boat landing lots of room to park your rig while out on the water... Maybe flooded at times.. has several picnic tables.. no power or water.. or........ Toilets... Ugh...... But that aside cool place to watch the sunrise

Loved the peace. Follow us on IG@ StudioisBlack

Great place to take a little stroll and do a little fishing. The boat launch area is open but the piers or should I say floating docks are out of order still. There arent any bathrooms power or water at the site However there are trash cans and covered picnic areas right on the water. There is also an old Trestle that goes part way Overlake Monroe that you can Walk up on 2 and check out.. If you bring your dogs or children make sure to watch for the normal Florida wildlife that we have here. I.e. Alligators and snakes. There is definitely lots of parking And it is very easy to back your boat Into the Boat ramp

The boat ramp is closed as of 10-12-20

Great for fishing or launching your boat. Also a pavilion with tables and a nice bite of the water. Right off the expressway for easy access

This is a great place to launch a boat onto the St Johns. You can easily access Lake Monroe from here. The historic former bridge offers a good place for some fishing. This park is very small, but does have covered picnic tables and grills. Its a great location to access Sanfords waters.

Need work on there docks.there completely under water. How about build them up with a step down .it not like we have not seen high water here before.

Lake Monroe Park is a great place to visit very clean. And has things for the family to do.

Beautiful place to launch your boats into the St. Johns!

Convenient FREE boat launching on the St Johns River w no frills.

What a peaceful and pretty location fish from the pier/old bridge or just enjoy the ambiance !

This park is popular and the parking lot fills up quickly. Nice view of the train drawbridge.

Beautiful view. Great for just relaxing and also taking photos on the old bridge.

Nice but a lot of mosquitoes and I believe there were gators around. Can see with bright spotlight!

Nice boat ramp.Convenient location.

Beautiful day in the water...The ramp was busy allot of people had the same idea.

Good fishing as always just wish they would clean up the place for once

Very nice clean everything is nice the best place

Sorry for the low star, but the docks were under water, the area smelled bad and there were ant piles all over.

This railroad draw bridge is there too. I had never seen one before .

Nice place to see Florida in a time capsule

Trailer slots fill up quick

Had a beautiful picnic by the lake

Love there old bridge

Enjoyed sunshine today and visiting travelling Vietnam Memorial Wall at Ft. Mellon Park. It is a great tribute to those who gave all. Also a moment of remembermenc by those who are still healing from the loss of family and/or friends. It also provides some solace for those of us who served. And continue to Serve. Thank you Army Sgt. Monroe for your kind words today.

Great place to launch a boat. We had kayaks. Plenty of parking. You can fish from shore. We did not catch anything that day but I cant say that is the norm.

Lake Monroe is located in Sanford, FL. The Wayside Park is located on Lake Monroe which flows into the St Johns River. The St John is 1 of only a few rivers that flow north. The Nile is another River that flows North. The Wayside Park has a beautiful of Lake Monroe, The Sanford Marina and the newly developed Senior Citizen condos. Sanford is changing, growing bigger every year. Not sure where all the traffic will go. As the Sanford City attorney said in zoning meeting, buyer beware.

Beautiful place to put your boat in the water and lots of paved cycling trails.

Great place for a picnic and watch the boats launch. There are no restrooms and only one small pavilion with two tables, but, great overlook of the river.

A nice place to relax right off the highway.

It’s one of the favorite spots to get into the St. Johns River, we like to kayak there and clean it remove trash and litter. Sometimes we can see manatees and lots of wildlife, it’s close to Orlando so it’s worth the trip. On the weekends he can get very busy and have little parking, make sure you arrive early. Please help us by not disposing of trash into the water and clean after yourself and others thank you very much and let’s keep Florida liter free.

A nice place to watch boats come in and go out. Can walk the bridge or sit down in the sand off the bank of the river. Picnic tables with trash cans available. Boat ramp for smaller boats.

My fellow trolls like it under a bridge.

Two good ramps.

Public boat ramp access to Lake Monroe with easy access to/from I-4. Fyi no restrooms.

Pretty, with a boat ramp and covered picnic tables

It is so beautiful here love looking at all the different things and fishing to

Dock width between the 3 need to be wider to accommodate 4 boats instead of 2

Great place to take the kids fishing

Great lake to enjoy watersports

Nice and easy ramp.

Nice place to put your boat in or just to go & have a good day

Great view. Peaceful

Good place to fish.

No facilities provided. Docks lack rub railing. Plenty of parking . Easy ramp to put in and take out of.

No bathrooms but great otherwise!

Boat ramp sucks is under

Its a nice little quiet park where you can launch a boat or stand on the shore and fish. If you are lucky you can see manatees.

I went at night time, have no clue what it looks like lol

Plenty of parking spaces and a great view of the channel opening. However, the amount of water traffic and people fishing means that you probably shouldnt expect to catch much.Also, something to take note of; near the boat ramp, there are NO RESTROOMS. If you gotta go, there is a little trail off in the trees. Just beware of the ticks.

I love this park it has historical fixture there.

It reminds me of bridges we would cross on one of my Dads Sunday drives.

Quiet little park see manute swimming by alot

Great boat ramp. Well maintained. The old bridge provides a peaceful view of the river.

Great boat ramp on Lake Monroe

Quiet sereren, private and very comfortable.

Nice park

Quiet, picturesque.

Waterway, railway and highway

Good.. Service..Scenery.. Entertainment..All Good!

Great time taking pictures with friends

Nice park nice place to launch a boat and it is free gets a little busy on the weekends especially Saturdays

Great place to launch your boat

Little over crowded on the weekend

Great bridge to fish from and see trains go over the old ACL bridge

Nice wide well lit and properly maintained ramps.

Great place to relax and enjoy.

Nice little park for a quick walk and nice views of the river

Nice boat ramp. Covered picnic tables

Very clean and spacious bathrooms, impeccable Park, and an overall great experience whether youre alone or with family. They also have a secluded small Campground in back, with a very clean and well maintained asphalt rail for walking or cycling to the next Park which is Gemini Springs.

Great bike trail there as well as boat launch!

Launched our boat 2 times here so far.. nice long ramps for easy launch and retrievals. Parking is good also. But could definetly use a traffic light getting out of there.

Great place to just relax and enjoy the scenery.

Best bread ever.

Small area to launch boats and have lunch by the water. There’s an old bridge you can walk on, awesome place to take pictures !

Easy in and out for a boater.

Beautiful scenery if you know what I mean

Get your boat ready great ramp

Great place to launch you boat from.. Alot of parking space..

First time fishing here on top of the old bridge. Cant catch anything here due to all the boats and watercraft launching. It sucks

Free your boat

Boat ramp is garbage. I have a 17 foot boat and the prop the ramp before my boat hit the trailer. Trim way up!

Sailing was so much fun

Great area for kids. It is very family oriented and people are nice there.

This is a great place to launch a boat so you can enjoy your day on the river. There is a small pavilion with a table that a couple of people could sit and relax but nothing that is very big.Only downside is there is no bathroom.

Pretty nice place to launch your boat.

Great outdoor getaway with the kids!!

Love the architect and the serenity of the lake

Nice easy to access ramps, lots of parking

Nice to watch the manatees

Great area for photos

Nice boat launch, two ramps which has space for four (4) boats launching at same time.....also couple hundred foot dock between the two ramps, plenty of room boats to tie up, lots of parking, Nice facilities (restrooms) well worth the $2.00 boat launching fee

Free parking

Quiet boat ramp good area, just way h the qater for gators. Not a swimming area lol

Great place for someone who is semi-retired that wants to watch the commuter traffic on the bridge while fishing. LOL

During Spec (Crappie) season the place is packed on the weekends, not to mention that it crawls with Fish and Wildlife cops so you better have all you need on your boat or expect a ticket. Sometimes its better to launch across the river.

This park has went downhill over the years, kinda dirty, have seen undesirables hanging out. Its best to go to the power companys park on the other side. Although it has a small entrance fee it is well worth better parking, security patrol, more and nicer ramps, more parking, better bathrooms too.

Great boat ramp easy access

Beautiful park which can get busy but the lake is so pristine and fun to had out onto.

Nice place. Easy access to the river for watercrafts!
