Lafourche Parish Tourist Commission - Raceland, LA

Bayou Lafourche meets the Gulf of Mexico at Port Fourchon. Here the oil and gas industry, recreational and commercial fishermen work side by side.

The Port serves as a terminal for much of the oil activities in South Louisiana. Supply boats, oil drilling vessels, oil field personnel, repair docks, and labor crews all work out of this area.

Port Fourchon also is home to many fishing camps and shore birds, ducks, and other migratory birds finding food and refuge there.
