About This Access Site
Beaver Park offers a convenient public boat launch located at 121 West Vermilion Street in downtown Lafayette, providing easy access to the Vermilion River. The facility is jointly operated and maintained by the Beaver Club of Lafayette and the City of Lafayette, with support from the Bayou Vermilion District. This centrally-located ramp serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters looking to access the river from an urban setting.

The ramp's downtown location makes it ideal for paddlers seeking quick access to the Vermilion River with nearby amenities and services within walking distance. Both traditional boat ramps and dedicated kayak/canoe launch areas are available at the site. Before heading out, check current river conditions and be aware of any posted notices regarding the waterway. This is a good put-in point for exploring the local river system and enjoying day trips in the Lafayette area.
