Port Louisa Boat Ramp

This concrete boat ramp provides river access from the northern boundary of the Louisa Division of Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge, serving as a primary access point for boating and fishing on Lake Odessa.

The ramp is located near the Odessa inlet area, which is popular for bank fishing year-round and offers access to excellent catfish, crappie, and bluegill fisheries.

An accessible fishing pier is also available at the nearby Odessa inlet ditch for anglers without boats.
