Sweetwater Marina

Sweetwater Marina is a pay-to-launch facility located in Delacroix at the intersection of Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs and Bayou Gentilly in Saint Bernard Parish. This is a well-maintained access point that serves both recreational paddlers and anglers looking to explore the bayou system and access the nearby Breton Sound fishing grounds. The marina offers easy water access for kayaks, canoes, and larger boats.

From this launch, you can paddle into either Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs or Bayou Gentilly, or venture toward Breton Sound for more open-water exploration. The area is characterized by calm bayou waterways and surrounding marsh habitat. You're unlikely to encounter heavy boat traffic, though you may encounter bank fishermen and crabbers. Fishing is productive near the launch, with redfish being a primary target species in the area.

Before visiting, confirm current operating hours and any closure dates with the facility, as the marina occasionally closes for special events. As a commercial marina operation, there is a launch fee. Amenities and parking availability are available on-site to support your paddling or boating trip.
