Public Landing

The Public Landing on Cocodrie Lake in Concordia Parish, Louisiana, provides boat ramp access to this scenic waterway in east central Louisiana. Located at coordinates 31.51621377, -91.71427650, this facility serves kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to explore the lake and surrounding waterways. The ramp's usability is dependent on water levels, so boaters should verify current conditions before visiting, especially during dry periods.

The launch provides access to Cocodrie Lake and proximity to the Bayou Cocodrie National Wildlife Refuge, a 14,668-acre protected area established in 1992 that offers excellent paddling and wildlife viewing opportunities. Nearby, the Ouachita-Black River system in Arkansas and Louisiana features additional boating infrastructure, including multiple locks, dams, and picnicking facilities for those interested in exploring beyond the immediate lake area. The refuge setting makes this an ideal location for paddlers seeking a more natural, wildlife-focused paddling experience.
