Rigolets Marina

Rigolets Marina in Slidell provides boat ramp access to Double Bayou Lagoon and the surrounding waterways in the greater Lake Pontchartrain area. This facility is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the shallow bayou systems and lagoons characteristic of coastal Southeast Louisiana. The marina offers amenities including a paved boat ramp, parking, and on-site services such as bait, tackle, and a fish cleaning station, making it a convenient launching point for day trips and fishing excursions.

The location provides access to productive fishing waters and nearby Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge, which features diverse wildlife habitats including bottomland hardwood forests and freshwater marshes. Paddlers should be prepared for typical coastal Louisiana conditions—shallow waters, variable tidal influences, and seasonal changes in water levels. The Rigolets area is known as a popular destination for speckled trout and other saltwater species, and the marina caters to both recreational anglers and charter fishing operations. Plan your visit accordingly, as hours may vary seasonally.
