The American Legion boat ramp provides convenient access to Cross Lake in Shreveport, Louisiana. Located near the dam area, this ramp serves as a practical launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring this popular local water body. The site is maintained by the American Legion Post 14 and has been a community resource for over a century.
Cross Lake is a scenic reservoir well-suited for recreational paddling and fishing. From this access point, paddlers can explore the lake's calm waters and enjoy nearby recreational opportunities. The proximity to Wallace Lake (operated by the Corps of Engineers) and the Red River National Wildlife Refuge makes this an excellent base for extended paddling trips or day outings in the region. This area is particularly appealing for those seeking accessible, manageable paddling conditions on a protected water body.
For specific details about ramp conditions, amenities (parking, restrooms), launch fees, or seasonal access restrictions, contact the American Legion Post 14 directly or check with local Shreveport parks and recreation resources before your visit.
