In the Fall of 2025, I was launching my boat at Hooks Marina on Spillway Road on Caney Lake in Jackson Parish. I noticed several men with kayaks in the back of their vehicles and ask them if I could help. They told me they were all military veterans about to fish a tournament on Caney. They ask if there was any kayak launch(s) on the lake and I said no. It was that day the vision started. I had already seen a floating launch on the Ouachita River and Chennier Lake, but wasn't sure if there was enough interest on Caney since there was not one on the lake. In the spring of 2026, I polled several people on Caney Lake Community Page, 20,000 viewers, about the potential to install a launch on Caney and where would be a good place to put it. The response to was overwhelming possitive and most said the Jimmie Davis Park would be ideal since it would be in the back water of a cove and not in the main lake. I knew funding was tight for the State Park and the Jackson Parish Watershed District so I applied for the JSB Pledge 10 Grant. We were blessed to receive the fulll amount requested. The immediate impact has been huge already with over 134,000 views of a video to demonstrate how to use the kayak launch at the state park.
Thank you very much for trusting us with the funding for public use.
Sincerely,
