Delcambre

The Delcambre boat ramp provides convenient access to Delcambre Canal (also known as Bayou Carlin), a popular waterway in Iberia Parish that connects Lake Peigneur to Vermilion Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Located in the small seaport town of Delcambre along Highway 14, the Bayou Carlin Cove Boat Landing features a four-bay launch facility with supporting amenities. This location is ideal for paddlers and boaters seeking quick access to Louisiana's coastal waterways, situated just 25 minutes from Lafayette.

The canal system offers diverse recreational opportunities including kayaking, fishing (particularly for red drum, black drum, and blue catfish), and general boating. The area features family-friendly facilities, parking, and a peaceful setting typical of South Louisiana's bayou environment. The waterway is part of a historic shipping channel established in 1906 that crosses the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, making it an active commercial corridor as well as a recreational destination. Paddlers should be aware of occasional barge and commercial vessel traffic when planning their trips.
