Burton Road

The Burton Road boat ramp provides access to Chef Menteur Pass, a narrow natural waterway that connects Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne near New Orleans. This site is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats seeking to explore the pass or access the larger lakes. The ramp is conveniently located off Chef Menteur Highway and offers a direct entry point to this scenic waterway.

Chef Menteur Pass is a connecting passage between two major water bodies, making it an attractive destination for paddlers interested in exploring Louisiana's coastal lake system. The area provides access to nearby natural areas including Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge, which features diverse wildlife habitats and bottomland hardwood forests. Boaters should be aware that this is a tidal passage with varying water conditions depending on the time of day and weather.

For those needing additional services, a boatyard is located approximately 0.9 miles northeast of the area, offering fuel, repairs, and marine supplies. Before launching, check local conditions and tide schedules, as this is an active waterway connecting two large lakes with currents and traffic from larger vessels.
