About This Access Site
La Fleur Park offers convenient public access to Prien Lake via a concrete boat ramp specifically designed for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. Located at the southwest corner of the park in Lake Charles, the launch features multiple ramps and ample parking, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the lake's brackish waters. From here, paddlers can venture north into the open waters of Prien Lake and its connected waterways.

The park provides excellent amenities beyond water access, including picnic areas, a playground, and walking trails—making it a family-friendly destination. Anglers frequent the area for croaker, redfish, specs (spotted seatrout), flounder, and black drum. Whether you're looking for a casual paddling day or a fishing expedition, La Fleur Park's well-maintained facilities and accessible launch make it a reliable option for boaters of all skill levels.
