there was another way from the lake to the river that we learned about in Louisiana History, that has since been closed up. I think it's through Lake Maurepas, and by Tickfaw.


It was up Maurepas - Amite River - Bayou Manchac to what is now Willow Glen power plant.

Bayou Manchac was actually dredged to help larger ships and was only available through parts of the year.


There's an old legend that says one of Columbus' ships made it up into Bayou Manchac. It's the source of the name for the Santa Maria development in BR.
