Review & FAQ:
Henderson Lake, located close to Rocky Branch and Loch Lomond, is a gateway to the Atchafalaya Basin. A combination of open water and picturesque cypress swamps, the lake is home to over 300 different kinds of diving waterfowl and other birds.
It is wonderful for slow paddling, and you can see many small private cottages and houseboats on one bank and ancient cypress trunks on the other.
While paddling, you can see large flocks of cormorants, sometimes 40 or 50, as well as Osprey nests high up on cypress trees.
The trees are magnificent and covered in bright green Spanish moss.
The launch site is paved and has large graveled parking area and Pat's Restaurant.
