About This Access Site
Located in Chauvin on Little Cocodrie Bayou, this access point provides boaters and paddlers entry to the shallow coastal waterways of Terrebonne Parish. The site is operated by LUMCON (Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium) at their DeFelice Marine Center facility in nearby Cocodrie. This is a popular launching point for exploring the bayou systems in southeastern Louisiana's productive coastal zone.

The immediate area offers educational resources through LUMCON's marine center, which features exhibits on Louisiana's coastal resources and is open daily for self-guided tours. The center is located at Highway 56 in Cocodrie, approximately 85 miles southwest of New Orleans. Paddlers and boaters should expect typical bayou conditions—shallow waters with marsh vegetation and limited current. This access is best suited for kayaks, canoes, and shallow-draft boats. Those planning to visit should contact LUMCON directly for specific information about ramp conditions, parking availability, and any requirements for facility access.
