Winter Paddle Trips




Winter is mild in Grand Isle this year, making paddle trips a comfortable and entertaining way to spend your day or weekend.  A great place to launch your kayak is at the end of Ludwig Lane behind the LA Wildlife and Fisheries Buildings.  See the map below for directions.

From this launch area, paddle to the west to view the last two mile of stretch of undeveloped marsh left on the island. You are likely to see wading birds such as herons, egrets and pelicans. You may alo catch a glimps of a roseated spoonbill. There are many canals to explore. You may see a few redfish tailing in the shallow water. Along the flats you may see porpoise eating mullet.
