Canal Bank

Canal Bank is a boat ramp access point on the Amite River in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, located along Highway 22. This launch provides direct access to the upper Amite River and is positioned to avoid the no-wake zones found at some alternative nearby launches (Hilltop and Highway 42 accesses). The site serves kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboat users looking to explore the river's upper reaches and adjacent sandbars.

Paddlers should note that Canal Bank is part of a network of access points along the Amite River system. The river in this area flows through a flood control channel with dikes on both sides, which affects the natural character of the surrounding swamp. This access point is particularly useful for those targeting fishing opportunities or sandbar recreation on the upper river. Check current water conditions and any applicable regulations before launching, as the area's hydrology can be affected by seasonal variations and flood control operations.
