Recreation

The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation was established in response to environmental concerns voiced throughout the Basin.

The Lake Pontchartrain Basin stretches from lush hardwood forests and slow flowing rivers of the north shore to the bayous, swamps, lakes and sounds leading to the Chandeleur Islands. From the fisherman making his way through the early morning fog to the kayaker slowly making her way through the spring irises, to the family picnicking along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, the Basin is an environment to experience and cherish.

LPBF and its partners have restored many of the waterways and habitats of the Pontchartrain Basin so they are once again a resource for recreational opportunities.

Please visit our Gift Shop for LPBF's new Fishing and Recreation Map for Lake Pontchartrain, Maurepas and Borgne. The map has locations of reefs, dredge holes, structures and many other fishing or outdoor localities (some never previously published) .  Tables provide GPS coordinates and contact information for boat launches.   Color printing on waterproof vinyl paper (folded) or regular paper (rolled).  20” X 34” (LPBF copyright 2009).
