River Access
The Pithlachascotee River (locally known as the "Cotee") runs through the heart of New Port Richey from the Grey Preserve to the Gulf of Mexico. The mouth of the Cotee connects directly with the Gulf of Mexico and provides beautiful scenery and a robust estuary system.

Once you pass under the US 19 bridge, the river slowly curves throughout the city and runs through the Downtown. There is dock access on the East side of the river at Sims Park, with the City Boat Ramp directly across on the West side of the river.

Past the Main Street Bridge, the water narrows down and is frequented by canoeists and paddlers of all ages as they venture to and from the Grey Preserve.
