An Earl G Williamson boat launch dredging update form Caddo Parish Parks and Recreation Director, Patrick Wesley 👇👇👇

We will start receiving quotes in June - July, then select an approved contractor and confirm dredging work schedule dates. Hopefully we can get started by late August or early September.

Note: August/September is the time of the year the Caddo Lake water levels are the lowest near the ramp and convenient for contractors to work. The dredging process of the boat launch ramp is usually a 2 week process, pending weather.
