About This Access Site
The Wilson boat ramp provides access to the expansive Atchafalaya Basin near Patterson in St. Mary Parish. Located off LA 3177 (Atchafalaya River Highway), the ramp can be reached via a small road next to the Welcome Center entrance. From this launch point, paddlers and boaters can explore a network of waterways including the area under the Basin Bridge, Lake Pelba, Lake Bigeaux, and Henderson Lake. The ramp is designed to accommodate vessel launches during both high water and low water conditions, making it accessible year-round.

The Atchafalaya Basin is a vast wetland system ideal for exploration by kayak, canoe, and motorboat. Nearby recreation includes the Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge, a premier paddling destination in the "Cajun Coast" region. For paddlers seeking more information about navigation and conditions in the basin, the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area website provides valuable resources. An unlimited annual pass is available for frequent users, and the area also features primitive campsites for overnight adventures.
