About This Access Site
The Grand Bayou Unit (South) boat ramp provides access to Bayou Pointe Au Chien in the Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area near Montegut in Lafourche Parish. This launch serves as a gateway to exploring the coastal bayou system of southeastern Louisiana, offering opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating in a shallow, tidal waterway typical of the region's swamp and marsh environments.

This access point is suitable for small craft and paddlers looking to explore the intricate bayou network. The area supports fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities common to Louisiana's coastal wetlands. Paddlers should be prepared for tidal conditions, shallow water in some areas, and potential navigation through narrow bayou passages. It's advisable to check water conditions and tide times before launching, and to bring navigation tools suitable for the winding waterways.
