About This Access Site
Youngs Road provides boat ramp access to Bayou Boeuf in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. This access point serves paddlers and boaters looking to explore the bayou's slow-moving waters, which are characteristic of coastal Louisiana's swamp and marsh environment. The site offers a practical launch point for kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats interested in experiencing the region's cypress swamps and wildlife habitat.

To reach the ramp, take Highway 71 and look for the marked turnoff on the west side of the highway. From there, an asphalt road leads to the access point. The calm, low-gradient waters of Bayou Boeuf are suitable for paddlers of various skill levels, making it accessible for recreational trips. Before launching, contact local authorities or visitor centers for current water conditions, any seasonal closures, and specific regulations that may apply to this area.
