Wenk's Landing is a full-service boat access site on Bayou Bodcau in Sarepta, Louisiana, offering a dedicated boat ramp for kayakers, canoeists, and other small watercraft. The landing provides convenient water access to Bayou Bodcau, a large flood-control project and wildlife management area spanning Louisiana and Arkansas. The site features basic amenities including flush toilets and potable water, making it suitable for day trips and camping excursions.
The recreation area maintains 11 primitive campsites along the bayou's banks, each equipped with fire rings, grills, picnic tables, and lantern poles. Paddlers should note that Bayou Bodcau has no permanent pool due to its flood-control purpose, so water levels can fluctuate seasonally. The area is particularly popular during hunting season as a major waterfowl and upland game management zone, so plan your visit accordingly. For those interested in exploring Ivan Lake, note that it requires removing your boat from Bayou Bodcau and re-launching at a separate access point.
