One of the fastest-growing inland ports in the nation

The 5,000-acre Port of Caddo-Bossier is located at the head of navigation on the Red River Waterway in Northwest Louisiana, about four miles south of the city limits of the City of Shreveport. As an industrial park and inland multi-modal transportation and distribution center, the Port links customers throughout the Ark-La-Tex region to domestic and international markets via the Mississippi River, the nation's largest river system and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
