Island Road

Island Road provides boat access to Bayou Pointe Au Chien in the Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area, located approximately 15 miles southeast of Houma in Terrebonne Parish. The ramp is situated along a 2.5-mile stretch of Island Road between Louisiana Highway 665 and Isle de Jean Charles, an area developed with multiple fishing piers and parking facilities. This is a primary access point for exploring the 35,000-acre WMA, as the interior is largely accessible only by water due to limited road infrastructure.

Kayakers and canoeists should note that this area features typical coastal bayou characteristics—shallow waters and a landscape dominated by marsh and waterways rather than upland terrain. The ramp provides vehicle parking and is part of a developed access corridor. Before visiting, check current conditions and any seasonal restrictions through the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) website at wlf.louisiana.gov, as access improvements and repairs may affect availability. This location is ideal for paddlers seeking to explore a large, protected wildlife area with fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities.
