Located on the southern end of Lake Bistineau in Bossier Parish, this public boat ramp is a reliable access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The ramp is particularly valuable during the lake's seasonal drawdowns, when it remains one of only a few publicly accessible launch areas—approximately 10,000 acres of water typically remain available even at low-water conditions. Plans are underway to expand the ramp and loading dock facilities to accommodate increased use during peak summer and fall recreational seasons.
The site provides access to a substantial freshwater lake suitable for paddling, fishing, and recreational boating. Nearby attractions include the Red River National Wildlife Refuge and Wallace Lake, offering additional paddling and fishing opportunities in the region. Before planning your trip, check current water levels and conditions, as Lake Bistineau experiences seasonal fluctuations that may affect launch accessibility and paddling conditions.
