This boat launch is located at the mouth of the Tchefuncte River, one of the major contributing rivers of Lake Pontchartrain. This river and its tributaries drain much of St. Tammany Parish. This location features a gravel parking lot, but no other facilities. Enjoy the drive to the location, winding through the beautiful country side of Lake Pontchartrain's northshore.
The Madisonville Town Council plans to replace the old wooden piers, which have been severely damaged over the years by multiple storms, with new ones built with metal sheet pilings and concrete walkways, making them much less susceptible to storm damage.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests at least 95% of the time
