The Iberville boat ramp provides a modern, well-maintained access point to Bayou Plaquemine in Plaquemine, Louisiana, just west of Baton Rouge. This recently upgraded facility features multiple launch ramps, ADA-accessible parking, and improved docking infrastructure, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. The site is located on a 10-acre property near Bayou Road and is open dawn to sunset.
Paddlers should note the **no-wake zone** extending from the Bayou Plaquemine train bridge to the Plaquemine Lock Historic Site, which helps protect this scenic waterway. The area provides access to the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, one of the country's most distinctive ecosystems featuring twisting bayous and America's largest river swamp. This makes it an excellent launch point for exploring Louisiana's unique wetland environment, whether for recreational boating, fishing, or paddling adventures.
From Baton Rouge, take I-10 West across the Mississippi River Bridge, then exit 153 toward LA-1 North to reach the facility near Port Allen.
