The Anthony Ferry boat ramp provides public access to the Houston River in Calcasieu Parish, near Sulphur, Louisiana. This launch site is a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore the Houston River and its surrounding waterways. The ramp's location on Anthony Ferry Road makes it relatively accessible for those transporting boats to the water.
The Houston River in this region supports a variety of paddling activities typical of Louisiana's coastal river systems. Before launching, paddlers should check current water conditions and be aware of typical river characteristics including tidal influences and weather patterns common to Southwest Louisiana. As with all public boat ramps, arriving early may provide better parking and ramp access, particularly during peak use times.
For specific details about ramp conditions, maintenance schedules, parking availability, or any current access restrictions, contact local Calcasieu Parish authorities or check with nearby marinas and outfitters familiar with the Houston River area.
