From the wilder bayou origins at the Mississippi River, this 52-mile, 4-day adventure winds its way through a number of rural communities and several small cities.  Paddlers will not only be treated to scenic natural vistas, but to a fascinating "backyard view" of this historic bayou.

Paddlers may pick and choose which day(s) to participate (from one to four days) and enjoy the bonding, camaraderie and sense of accomplishment that comes from going the distance on Bayou Lafourche--Donaldsonville to Lockport!
