The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Swamp Base Boat Launch project is another recent example of CPRA’s commitment to providing recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. Swamp Base is one of BSA’s premier adventure bases, attracting scouts from all over the country to explore the Louisiana outdoors on a 60-mile canoe trek through the bayous and swamps of the Atchafalaya Basin.
CPRA partnered with BSA to construct a new boat launch at the BSA Swamp Base. This state-of-the-art facility provides safe and convenient access to the waterways for scouts and enhances their experience in the Atchafalaya Basin. The BSA Swamp Base Boat Launch project was completed in July 2024, and BSA is now utilizing the facility to support their outdoor programs and activities.
This partnership showcases CPRA's dedication to fostering environmental stewardship and promoting recreational opportunities.
