Marina

The Marina boat ramp in Westlake provides convenient access to the Calcasieu River and Ship Channel via a concrete launch. This freshwater access point is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to explore the scenic waterways of Calcasieu Parish. The area is popular with anglers targeting bass and panfish, making it a lively launch point during peak seasons.

Paddlers should note that the Calcasieu Ship Channel can accommodate larger commercial traffic, so be aware of vessel movement when planning your route. The concrete ramp makes launching kayaks and canoes straightforward. Before heading out, check water conditions and tide levels, as the river's character can vary. The Marina location in Westlake offers good accessibility for both day trips and longer paddles along the river system.
