Cannons

Cannons Landing is a public boat ramp providing access to Bayou Black in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. Located in the Atlantic Coastal Plain region, this launch serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat operators looking to explore the bayou's freshwater and brackish waters. The ramp is conveniently situated for paddlers interested in accessing nearby Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge, which protects extensive freshwater marshes in western Terrebonne Parish.

Before launching, be aware that seasonal water lily coverage can be heavy, making initial paddling challenging—especially for smaller craft. Plan accordingly and consider tide conditions typical of this coastal bayou system. The landing can experience moderate use during peak times, so arriving early may help you avoid congestion during loading and unloading. This is a good spot for fishing and wildlife viewing in addition to recreational paddling.
