Cypremort Point State Park, State park near Franklin, Louisiana
Cypremort Point State Park is a coastal recreational area in Louisiana featuring a half-mile man-made beach that opens to the Gulf of Mexico. The park includes six elevated cabins with full facilities, boat docks, a fish cleaning station, and space for swimming and boating.
The park was established as one of Louisiana's coastal recreational spaces, designed to give local communities access to the Gulf of Mexico. Its creation reflected the region's goal of providing beach and water recreation opportunities for families.
Fishing brings locals to the docks regularly, with anglers pursuing flounder and redfish in a tradition that shapes the rhythm of life for many families here. This connection to the water and seafood has deep roots in how people in the area spend their time.
The park welcomes both day visitors and overnight guests staying in the available cabins equipped with cooking gear. Weather along the coast can change quickly, so visitors should plan accordingly and check local conditions before heading out on the water.
The park sits on 185 acres where alligators, black bears, deer, nutria, and muskrats thrive among the wetlands and coastal habitat. Wildlife viewing is possible here, and quiet walks often reward visitors with sightings of these creatures in their natural home.
