About This Access Site
Laketown in Kenner provides convenient access to Lake Pontchartrain via four concrete boat launches located where Williams Boulevard meets the lake. This is a well-developed facility ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The site features ample parking, restroom facilities, picnic shelters, a fishing pier, and a lighthouse, making it a comfortable starting point for exploring the lake. The location also offers convenient access to nearby artificial reef sites approximately 2.5-3 miles offshore, popular for fishing and marine exploration.
The site is walking distance to amenities along Williams Boulevard and nearby attractions, including the Coconut Beach Volleyball Complex. As a large lake environment, Lake Pontchartrain offers open-water paddling opportunities, though paddlers should be prepared for variable conditions typical of a significant water body. The area's popularity for fishing and boating makes it a lively launch point, particularly on weekends. The site's proximity to New Orleans and the Bonnet Carré Spillway recreation area makes it a gateway to multiple recreational opportunities in the region.
