McGee's Landing

McGee's Landing provides boat ramp access to Henderson Swamp (also called Henderson Lake), a scenic pocket of the expansive Atchafalaya Basin near Saint Martin Parish. This is a proven hotspot for wildlife viewing and fishing, located in the same area as popular swamp tour operations near Breaux Bridge. The ramp offers a straightforward entry point to explore the interconnected waterways of the Atchafalaya Basin's vast network.

The Henderson Swamp area is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters seeking to experience Louisiana's swamp ecosystem. Wildlife viewing is excellent in this region, with opportunities to spot native birds, alligators, and other basin wildlife. The calm, sheltered waters make it accessible for paddlers of varying skill levels. Nearby, the Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge (established 1984) protects much of the floodplain ecosystem, making this an eco-sensitive paddling destination.

Before visiting, check current access conditions and any local guidelines. Overnight boating is available at some nearby facilities in the area. This location is well-established as a gateway to one of America's most significant river swamp ecosystems.
