Taylor Bayou

Taylor Bayou boat ramp provides access to the Saline-Larto water system in rural LaSalle Parish, near Deville, Louisiana. This ramp offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats looking to explore the bayou system and its connecting waterways. The location sits near the Taylor Bayou Bridge on State Highway 73, making it relatively accessible from the main road.

From this access point, paddlers can venture north toward Evadel with quick connections to Pine Island Bayou and Village Creek, offering multiple paddling routes through the local bayou network. The area also provides proximity to Lake Ophelia National Wildlife Refuge, making it an attractive option for those interested in paddling through wildlife habitat and observing migratory birds and aquatic ecosystems. A launch fee applies at this facility.

Visitors should note that the Saline-Larto system has experienced aquatic plant management efforts in the past, so water conditions and vegetation may vary seasonally. Be prepared for typical bayou paddling conditions and check current water quality reports before heading out.
