Fort De Soto update
Pinellas County says dock construction at Fort De Soto Park, 3500 Pinellas Bayway S., will close about half the boat ramps at a time, starting with the five south-end ramps. The county’s parks notice says all floating docks are currently out of service except one, but the adjacent boat ramps remain open for now.
When the work moves to phase two, the six north-end docks will close and the five new docks will open to the public. The county’s latest parks notice says the full reopening is expected by late December 2026.
The county also says road and trail work began in September 2026 and is scheduled through early 2027. Its project page says daytime trail paving and nighttime road paving begins in November.
