Cypremort Point State Park

Cypremort Point State Park offers a convenient boat launch providing access to East Cote Blanch Bay and nearby Vermilion Bay, located just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico. The launch is situated at the park entrance in St. Mary Parish and serves as an ideal departure point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters seeking coastal and estuary paddling. The area features a 1.5-mile beach, fishing pier, and boat docks for overnight access. A launch fee applies for use of the facility.

The waters around Cypremort Point support diverse paddling opportunities, from protected bay exploration to Gulf access for experienced paddlers. Anglers and boaters frequently venture to nearby Marsh Island and beyond, while calmer shallows near the point attract paddlers interested in exploring grass flats and coastal marshes. The park provides amenities including picnic areas and facilities, making it suitable for day trips or extended outings. Paddlers should note that conditions can vary significantly with tide and weather, so local knowledge and proper planning are recommended before launching into open bay waters.
