About This Access Site
Frenier Landing is a boat ramp facility located in LaPlace on Lake Pontchartrain, accessible via Peavine Road off Old US Highway 51. This launch serves as a convenient access point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to explore Lake Pontchartrain's open waters.
**Important considerations:** Be aware that the canal mouth leading from the landing can become quite shallow during periods of extreme low water, which may prevent launch or require using alternative ramps. Once on the open lake, check wind and water conditions carefully before venturing out, as Lake Pontchartrain can develop rough conditions. Bay boats and similar vessels typically navigate the shallow canal without issue, but kayakers and canoeists should monitor water levels and weather before launching.
The landing's proximity to the Bonnet Carre Spillway area means you'll have access to a popular recreation zone that draws significant visitor use. Plan your trip accordingly, especially during peak recreation periods, and always prioritize safe water conditions over your launch choice.
