Baton Rouge Underground Tunnels (Not LSU or Hilton)

Not the LSU maintenance tunnels or the downtown Huey P Long tunnel

ETA: These are drainage tunnels. The Keating Club from Dead Poet's Society never used these to secretly traverse the city.






Has anyone been in the underground tunnels running all over downtown Baton Rouge?

Ever been hanging out in Baton Rouge and by the Cane’s on Highland and State? If you head down State a bit further there is this culvert canal thing that looks like this:

I never gave it much thought when I lived up there in BR.

Fast forward to now. The Internet gave me instant access to
information about this thing – it is now called “Corporation Canal,”
but was ORIGINALLY Bayou Duplantier. Old maps from the 1800s show it,
and I believe they re-routed it in the 1920s when they dug the University
and City Park lakes adjacent to the LSU campus. Anyway, it goes on
for MILES. I was able to track its course with Google Earth/Google
Maps, and followed it all the way from the LSU area to downtown BR,
but noticed that it just DISAPPEARED at some point downtown.
Strangely enough, it seemed to disappear underneath someone’s HOUSE.
