The bayou is calling you! Located on the banks of Bayou St. John, kayak and paddleboard rentals are available through Bayou Paddlesports. Cruise alongside a family of ducks down one of New Orleans’ most famous waterways, or stop to do some yoga and let the bayou take you. We recommend making a reservation in advance and avoiding peak times, such as weekends.
