Mansura

Located in Avoyelles Parish, the Mansura access site provides boat ramp facilities for paddlers and boaters looking to explore Spring Bayou. Vehicle access is available via an improved shell road off the Bordelonville levee, making this a convenient launch point for kayaking and canoeing in the area.

Spring Bayou offers access to a scenic Louisiana waterway system with connections to nearby wildlife management areas. The site is well-positioned for exploring the region's abundant natural areas, including proximity to Lake Ophelia National Wildlife Refuge and Grand Cote National Wildlife Refuge—both important habitats for waterfowl and migratory birds. These refuges offer excellent paddling opportunities for wildlife viewing and nature exploration.

Before launching, contact local authorities or check current conditions, as bayou water levels and accessibility can vary seasonally. This location is best suited for paddlers comfortable with bayou environments and those interested in wildlife habitat areas.
