About This Access Site
Located in Covington, St. Tammany Parish, the 3 River Road boat ramp provides access to the Tchefuncta River. To reach the site, take US 190 approximately 2.2 miles south of Covington and turn west onto the road leading to Tulane Research Road, passing under I-12 to the end of the road. The access point is situated at the end of River Road, which is largely paved, making it relatively easy to navigate with a vehicle and trailer.

This ramp serves as a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters exploring the Tchefuncta River. The site appears to offer basic boat ramp access with parking available. No launch fees are charged, making it an affordable option for recreational paddlers and fishermen. The Tchefuncta River in this area provides opportunities for both day trips and longer excursions. Paddlers should be aware of local conditions and water levels before launching, as these can affect navigability.

The site's proximity to Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge and the greater St. Tammany Parish area makes it a useful jumping-off point for exploring the region's waterways and natural areas along the north shore region near Lake Pontchartrain.
