I-90 (West)

This concrete boat ramp provides convenient access to the West Pearl River along U.S. Highway 90 in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, near the Louisiana-Mississippi state line. The ramp offers ample parking and is one of several access points along Highway 90 that serve the West Pearl River area. This location is particularly useful for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the lower reaches of the river or access nearby waterways including Holmes Bayou, which joins the West Pearl approximately 4 miles downstream.

From this ramp, paddlers can explore a variety of water conditions depending on their direction of travel. The river in this area provides opportunities for recreational kayaking and canoeing, with connections to larger waterways and wildlife viewing areas including the Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge. Boaters should note that the barge canal is accessible just beyond the initial paddling area, with Lock 1 located further upriver off Highway 41 for those navigating larger vessels. The concrete ramp construction and designated parking make this an accessible launch point for both casual recreational paddlers and more experienced boaters.
