Heritage Park

Heritage Park in Slidell offers public boat access to Bayou Bonfouca via a paved boat ramp constructed during the site's redevelopment in the 1990s. The facility sits on former waterfront property that was donated to the City of Slidell and has been transformed into a community green space. The ramp provides straightforward access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the bayou, though paddlers should be aware that muddy bottom conditions are common in this area.

The park serves as a convenient launch point for exploring the local waterways and offers proximity to other recreation opportunities in the region, including Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge and the Pearl River's three-pool system just a short distance away. Heritage Park also houses city operations offices and amenities as part of the larger facility, making it a well-developed public access point for both day-use boating and paddling activities.
