Default Moss Bluff River Park construction
I stopped there a few days ago to take some pictures of the work that is being done.

I think the work was started the first week of April 2014.

It's killing me not having a launch close to my house to use. I'm having to drive all the way to ward 8 which its not really that far but when you are used to being at the launch in 3 mins you get spoiled.

It seems like it's been about 3-4 weeks since I have seen any work out there.

I wonder if they are waiting on materials to be delivered to work on the docks?

It's in Moss Bluff off of Theriot Road, about 1/4 mile East of the Walgreens.

This boat launch is about 5 miles north of I-10 and just east of Hwy 171. After you cross over the second bridge [Calcasieu river] on Hwy 171, turn east at the red light [Walgreens store] The boat launch is about a 1/2 mile down the road on the south side.
