Located just 35 mins from downtown New Orleans along the bayous of the Lafitte / Barataria area. Bayou Vista is a perfect place to bring the family for a relaxing time spent close to nature. Walk out the back door and you're on the bayou where you can enjoy fishing, crabbing and take in nature of the south with visits from the local wildlife such as egrets, herrings, ducks, turtles ,alligator and bald eagles. Sounds of bullfrogs and crickets can be heard after dark, this is a true bayou getaway Other things to note I also run a Fishing Charter Service in the area. we primarily fishing the back water marsh, lakes ,bays and bayou for red fish ,black drum and speckle trout.
