The Marina boat ramp in Buras provides public access to Bay Pomme d'Or in southeastern Louisiana's Plaquemines Parish. This access point is ideal for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the shallow coastal waters and bayous of the region. The facility offers a convenient launching point for both small recreational craft and larger boats seeking to access the bay's calm waters.
From this location, paddlers can access the unique ecosystem where freshwater and saltwater environments blend, with proximity to the Delta National Wildlife Refuge—accessible only by boat. This area is known for its rich wildlife viewing opportunities and abundant fishing. Paddlers should be prepared for tidal influences and variable water conditions typical of Louisiana's coastal bayous. Before launching, check tide schedules and weather conditions, as the area can experience significant water level changes and weather impacts common to Gulf Coast regions.
