Avoyelles.
You have to travel back in time to get there.

Maurepas may have not been travelled extensively in recent history. But, when I was younger, we had MOST of the WMA leased (before the state kicked us out). We had about 12 air boats between the two clubs leasing most of that area. I'd say 90% or better has been explored. You can go miles in there and still see the duck blinds that we built.

But you aren't seeing the ducks anymore to go with the duck blinds...

Talking about the swamp, not the marsh. Unless you have a 10ft airboat, you can't get it in the swamp

I'm talking about before the WMA. My boat was 12' long and 5' wide. It was tiny with a 240 lycoming. Custom built aluminum. We built our boats specifically for the swamp. Also, when you got stuck, we always had a chainsaw in the boat.

That's why it wasn't such a big deal to us when the state took it over. We weren't killing many ducks anymore anyway.

I don't think Leesville classifies as remote. I like the Chandelier Islands response. Remote does not mean unvisited, to me it means distance from the nearest electricity or gas pump.

Chandeleur or last island.

oh yeah, if you're talking about strict distance, i'm not sure anywhere even comes close to chandelier. it's 20 miles of open water to the islands, and that's after 20 miles of marsh from the BSM.

In that link about the Pacific NW there were guys that hiked into areas that were 10 miles from the nearest road. Is there anyplace in LA that is like that?
Looking at one of those large wall maps that the state gives out it looks like Allen Parish doesn't have many highways through there. Of course, maybe there are a lot of local roads that don't show on the map. When I was at LSU I dated a girl who was from Oberlin and went home with her one weekend and from what I remember it was BFE.

shite, they got a casino right down the road, but that does fall close to the Oakdale theory posted above. Roy O. Martin owns some large timber tracts around there just North of the rice fields of Oberlin and Mamou.

I've seen hog tracks on that beach. It feels remote
Pretty cool to be in the boat on the north side of the beach fishing and seeing breakers on the gulf side.

This.
I found a double banded brown pelican there this year. The island was full of hog tracks.

After going up there earlier this year on a hog hunt i would have to go with this area. Hell we went 12 miles down a dirt road to get to the camp

Battledore Reef. So remote, you can't see it, but it is a great spec producer......or was. I haven't been there in prolly 30 years!
But the specs were there THICK then.

That's out in Breton Sound on the way to the Chandelier Islands. I caught my 2nd biggest speck there with the poster "Hardhead" about 10 years ago. The speck weighed about 6 lbs., we cleaned her...
It was my biggest at the time, but I caught one about 7 lbs. in the surf at Holley Beach a couple of years ago.
