Workinger Bayou

Workinger Bayou provides public boat ramp access to Black River Lake in Concordia Parish, Louisiana. This improved launch facility is open for public use and offers a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the Black River system. A portable toilet is available at the parking lot, accessible even when other facilities are closed. The site is also enhanced with a nature trail boardwalk that winds through the surrounding bottomland forest and a wildlife pier extending into the lake—excellent amenities for paddlers interested in wildlife viewing and nature exploration.

The location offers proximity to several significant recreational opportunities in the region. Paddlers can explore the scenic waters of Bayou Cocodrie National Wildlife Refuge (14,668 acres) located nearby, or venture further along the Ouachita-Black River system, which features multiple locks and dams with additional boat ramps and facilities. This access point is well-suited for day trips and longer paddling adventures in Louisiana's rich wetland environment.
