re: Places to Ski/Boat in NOLA

The Amite and Blind River can get you out of the rat race, the Diversion, Tchefuncte and Tickfaw can get crazy. The Diversion is a part of the Amite and Blind Rivers and about 45 minutes from New Orleans. The sandbar in Maurepas can get a little crazy...

Take note, both the Ponchartrain and Maurepas can go from slick to very rough very quickly. Summer storms can change the conditions in a hurry; if in doubt get to protected water quickly...

If in NOLA, you can launch out of West End Boat Launch or Bonnabel Boat Launch. There is about a 1 mile stretch of somewhat protected water between Bonnabel and the Coast Guard Station that is perfect for making laps. You can wakeboard, ski, tube, kneeboard, or whatever as long as you have a SW/S/SE wind, which you generally will during the summer months. If storms pop up, its literally less than a minute either way to one of the launches. Before I went to college, we used to go out there 3-4 days a week during the May-August and always had a great time.
Funny thing is, I go to school in Galveston and have trouble getting out on the water over here
