Highway 190 Bridge

The Highway 190 Bridge boat ramp provides access to the Calcasieu River near Stanley in Allen Parish. This access point serves paddlers and boaters looking to launch on the lower Calcasieu River, a coastal waterway in southwestern Louisiana. The location offers a convenient put-in for exploring this section of the river, which features typical coastal Louisiana characteristics with relatively calm, tidal waters.

This ramp is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. Paddlers should be aware that the Calcasieu River in this area is influenced by tidal activity and can have varying water conditions depending on tide and weather. Before launching, check local conditions and tide forecasts, as coastal waterways can be subject to sudden changes. The site's proximity to Highway 190 makes it easily accessible by vehicle for boat transport.
