Located in downtown Mooringsport near the historic Caddo Lake Drawbridge, this boat ramp provides convenient access to the lower, deeper section of Caddo Lake in Caddo Parish. The ramp is situated close to the dam, making it an ideal launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters looking to explore this unique cypress bayou ecosystem on the Louisiana-Texas border. The proximity to downtown amenities adds to the accessibility of this location.
Caddo Lake is known for its natural beauty, shallow waters in some areas, and cypress-lined channels, making it suitable for paddling and recreational boating. The ramp's location in the deeper section of the lake is advantageous for larger boats and provides easier water access. For fishing enthusiasts, the nearby dam area offers bank fishing opportunities operated by the Corps of Engineers. Before launching, check current water conditions and be prepared for the characteristic shallow, vegetated areas common to cypress bayous when paddling away from the main channel.
