Dugas Landing is a family-owned facility offering convenient access to the Calcasieu Ship Channel and Lake Calcasieu in Cameron Parish. The site features a concrete boat ramp and dedicated canoe/kayak launch, making it suitable for paddlers and motorboats alike. The facility provides gateway access to productive fishing and paddling waters in the region.
From Dugas Landing, paddlers can explore the productive marsh, canal, and backcountry systems surrounding the Calcasieu Ship Channel. The south side of the channel is known for excellent fishing opportunities, particularly for redfish in the shallow marsh waters and canals. The proximity to Sabine National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding coastal marshes offers opportunities for wildlife viewing and scenic paddling in protected habitat areas.
**Practical tip:** The nearby Calcasieu Point Landing (accessible via LA 27) provides an alternative launch point with a three-lane public ramp and access to the Industrial and Intracoastal Canals. Before visiting, contact the facility directly to confirm current hours, amenities, and any applicable fees.
