I've kayaked a lot of it. There's a launch on the back side if it. mcgee's landing I think.
When we put in, we launched under the interstate at the rest area exit. We paddled a lot of the canals and saw a lot of boats pulling in fish. We crossed all the way to the back of it and that's where we saw Mcgee's landing. The have a nice ramp and it looks like they do swamp tours too. We then paddled to the western side of it.
When we were about as far as possible from our cars, the sky turned black and the winds picked up. One of a few times the I was nervous about the weather. We cut across the middle of it as fast a possible in a kayak. It stormed hard for 10-15 minutes and then improved.
In a yak, you'd want to launch from Mcgee's to fish. Less paddling to get to area to fish.
I think we covered 37 miles that day. Probably doesn't need to be said, but there are a bunch of alligators so only go if your OK being around them.
Edit- Cow island lake has the most fish I've ever seen. Only accessible by boat a few times a year when water is high enough to cross over top of a weir. You an get there anytime in yak because you can carry yak across the weir. A bit of a paddl to get there and on way back you have to paddle against the Atchafalaya river current for 2 or so miles.
