Charenton Beach Boat Ramp

A utilitarian "working man's boat launch" on the western containment levee of the Atchafalaya Basin offering free daily access to explore North America's largest river swamp.

The shallow waters east of the ramp attract shorebirds and wading birds, making it ideal for both fishing and wildlife viewing, with scenic vistas of the swamp and opportunities to spot raptors like Osprey and Bald Eagles, particularly during late fall through early spring.
