MADISONPARISH PORT

IN MADISON PARISH, OUR MISSISSIPPI RIVEREXPERTISE GOES BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

Thousands of years ago, Native Americans lived

in what is now Madison Parish. They relied on

the mighty Mississippi River for food, water and

transportation. Today, that’s still true. We’re proud

of our long history as river experts and even prouder

of what we’ve built today: A port that “has it all” for

business, from year-round deep water and end-of-

dock rail service to existing building availability and

266 acres of level land. Please explore our Port and

get to know us. We welcome your personal tour of

Madison Parish Port at any time.

PORT OVERVIEW

Madison Parish Port is located on the Mississippi

River in the northeast corner of Louisiana. The

Port comprises 266 acres with a host of blue chip

corporations working onsite at mile marker 457. It’s

the only port between Memphis and Baton Rouge

that offers deep-water access virtually year around

– a fact supported by active support from the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers. Sitting on the deep side of

the river with an average depth of 20-feet, Madison

Parish Port delivers the performance you need to

move your products reliably and consistently.

FIRST-RATE RAIL SERVICE

Port functionality is a critical concern when you

select a Mississippi River port. Port-owned rail

operated by Delta Southern Rail road to transport

your products right to the end of the dock and

American rail system. Stevedore service is provided

by Terral River Services, which offers 70 years of

experience on the Mississippi River and regional

waterways.
