Port of Iberia Ramp

The Port of Iberia Ramp provides boat access to the Commercial Canal in New Iberia, Louisiana. This launch site connects paddlers and boaters to a significant waterway network, offering access to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. The facility serves as a gateway for those looking to explore Louisiana's coastal water systems, with connections to major shipping routes and natural waterways.

As an industrial port facility, be aware that the Commercial Canal sees commercial traffic, so paddlers should exercise caution and maintain awareness of larger vessels. This access point is best suited for experienced boaters and kayakers/canoeists comfortable navigating shared waterways with commercial activity. The site's proximity to the coast makes it ideal for paddlers interested in exploring brackish waters and longer-distance paddling routes in coastal Louisiana.

For specific information about ramp conditions, hours of operation, parking availability, and any applicable fees or permits, contact the Port of Iberia directly or check local boating resources, as details may vary seasonally.
