About This Access Site
Located at 7955 Intracoastal Park Road in Sulphur, Louisiana, Intracoastal Park's East Ramp provides direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), a protected inland waterway ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat operators. The facility features two boat launches with attached wharves, making it convenient for launching and retrieving paddled and motorized craft. The park is open daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., offering early morning and evening paddling opportunities.

This location is well-suited for small watercraft and paddlers of various experience levels. The calm, protected waters of the ICW make it a good choice for recreational paddling. The site's proximity to other waterways in the area provides paddlers with options for exploring different routes along Louisiana's Gulf Coast region. The park also features the historic Venice Train Depot nearby, making it a scenic destination for paddlers seeking both water access and local heritage interest.
