The Catfish Lake boat ramp in Golden Meadow provides basic access for small watercraft in Lafourche Parish. This is a modest facility best suited for flat-bottomed boats, as the lake is notably shallow. The ramp accommodates kayaks, canoes, and small recreational boats looking for a casual paddling destination in the area.
Paddlers should be prepared for shallow water conditions and plan their routes accordingly. The site offers a dispersed camping area nearby, making it a convenient base for extended outings. This is an ideal spot for leisurely paddling, fishing, and recreational boating rather than distance paddling. Check local conditions before launch, as shallow lakes can have variable water depths depending on recent rainfall and water management activities.
