Your access to the bayou is CLOSED!

As you know Bayou Paddlesports is a small business trying to revive the water culture of Louisiana by providing kayak, paddle board and canoe rentals on Bayou St John. All that fun came to a stop when LSU Dental rented out the only community space to access the bayou to Impetus, a construction company. They will be resurfacing Moss St and replacing the Desaix Bridge, a much needed project scheduled to last a year or more. All we’re asking is that the construction staging move further down the street and keep the launch site at 1101 Florida Ave open to the public!! See attached photos
