About This Access Site
Located in Breaux Bridge off I-10 Exit 121, Butte LaRose Landing provides convenient access to the central Atchafalaya Basin and the Atchafalaya River. The boat ramp is situated near the Atchafalaya Welcome Center and accommodates 25-50 boats per day, making it a popular launch point for the region. From here, paddlers can explore the distinctive landscape of America's largest river swamp, with nearby destinations including Lake Pelba, Lake Bigeaux, and Henderson Lake—all within a mile of the launch.

**Practical Information:** Access the ramp via the small road adjacent to the Welcome Center entrance. Water levels can fluctuate seasonally due to lake drawdowns, so conditions may vary throughout the year. This location is ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the twisting bayous and waterways of the Atchafalaya Basin without traveling far from Lafayette or major highways. The proximity to I-10 makes it a convenient option for day trips or quick morning launches.
