We operate on Cypress Black Bayou near Benton, LA. We do not have an on-site location and operate by reservation. We may alternate launch sites based on customer preference, lake conditions, or availability of parking at given times during the season.

Reservations are required. We do not have a physical location on the lake and need notice of your rental so that we know to meet you! Get your reservations in early, as kayaks are in limited supply and bookings can fill up fast, especially on weekends or holidays. Book now to guarantee your kayak.
