Looking at the sattelite maybe it's not possible.
Went down this long straight canal that brought us back to the river above butte larose. Someone built a fine-*** house up there on the left! Its not there on the bing map I'm looking at. Also buzzed by what looked like a fricken blackhawk heli. We had fun though and it beats being at work. |
It sounds like you took the Butte LaRose Cutoff.
To get into Lake Warner......The canal is located about mile farther south [south of where the south end of the Butte LaRose Cutoff come out into the Atchafalaya river.] The Lake Warner canal goes off the east bank for about a mile, then makes a left turn to the north before it opens up into the lake.
If you are coming out of Cow Island lake....via the south end of Little Atchafalaya river...... you then turn back upstream and cross over to the east bank of the Atchafalaya river. The Lake Warner cut is about 1.5 mile upsteam. This cut heads in a northeast direction and is a lot smaller than the Butte LaRose Cutoff.
If I remember correctly...... the Atchafalaya river must be 9+ feet to get into the lake or it will be too shallow.
