Big Lake Street

Big Lake Street provides public boat access to Calcasieu Lake and the surrounding waterway system in Lake Charles. This ramp offers convenient access to the Industrial and Intracoastal Canals, as well as nearby Turner's Bay and Big Lake itself—ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the coastal Louisiana waterways. The location is situated in a residential area with numerous camps, so expect a quieter, more local feel compared to busier access points.

To reach the ramp, take Big Lake Road south from Lake Charles toward Big Pasture Road, then follow Hebert Camp Road into the camp community before turning onto Big Lake Street. The site serves both paddlers and anglers looking to explore the shallow coastal marshes and bays in the region. Nearby paddlers should note that Sabine National Wildlife Refuge and Cameron Prairie National Wildlife Refuge are in the area, offering opportunities to explore diverse habitats including fresh marsh, coastal prairie, and protected waterfowl areas—though access restrictions may apply in refuge areas.
