The Raccourci River access site in Lacour, Pointe Coupee Parish provides a public boat launch for paddlers and boaters exploring this Louisiana waterway. Located at coordinates 30.83672, -91.62700, this ramp is managed by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources and offers convenient access to the Raccourci Old River system, which flows within the Mississippi River levees in south-central Louisiana.
This location is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists looking to paddle in the area, with multiple boat ramps available at the site. The nearby Old River Lock area, located about 50 miles northwest of Baton Rouge, offers additional recreation opportunities and provides context for the region's unique hydrological features connecting the Atchafalaya and Mississippi River systems. Before launching, paddlers should check current water conditions and be aware of the levee-contained nature of this waterway.
