**Location & Access**
Martin Lane is a public boat ramp located in Port Sulphur, Plaquemines Parish, providing access to Grand Bayou in southeastern Louisiana. The ramp is situated adjacent to Highway 20, making it convenient to reach via vehicle.
**What to Expect**
This is a modest facility suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore the Grand Bayou waterway. Grand Bayou offers typical Louisiana bayou conditions—calm, brackish waters ideal for paddling, fishing, and wildlife observation. Given its location in Plaquemines Parish near the Mississippi River Delta, expect tidal influences that affect water levels and currents, particularly during high tide periods. The ramp is best suited for smaller craft and recreational boating rather than large vessels.
**Planning Your Visit**
Before launching, check local tide tables and weather conditions, as this area can experience significant water level changes. There are no facilities mentioned at this particular access point, so plan accordingly. Contact Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries for current conditions, any seasonal access restrictions, or additional details about parking and amenities.
