Boat launch
See it on the boat launch map →Three-lane parish ramp that is the quickest public launch from Lake Charles to Turner's Bay and Big Lake for speckled trout, redfish and flounder. A Hurricane Laura repair project started in 2026: the ramp and parking stay open, but parts of the pier and the revetment are closed to fishing while crews work.
