That's a pretty nice setup BR put together for that.

Yep, just wish they'd put in a takeout at either Airline Park, or the park on Old Jefferson. They very well may have plans for that in the future.

Future Launches:
Connect Wards Creek to Bayou Fountain via Oschner Surgical Center
Connect Airline Highway Launch to Comite River at Waddell – would require property acquisition and permits/JUA from DOTD
Connect Airline Highway Launch to Blackwater – would require property acquisition and permits/JUA from DOTD
Comite River Diversion project - will need to discuss with Garrett Graves and others
