Residents in St. Charles Parish seeking to enjoy a day on the water are facing a brief setback as the Des Allemands Boat Launch has been issued a temporary closure. Citing environmental conditions that are less than favorable, the parish authorities have announced that the boat launch will remain off-limits to the public until further notice due to unusually high tides affecting the area. The high water levels have presumably made the launch unsafe or impractical for use by boaters and water enthusiasts alike, prompting this precautionary measure.

While local fishermen and recreational boaters typically frequent the launch, safety concerns have taken precedence — leading to the disruption of plans and daily routines. According to information provided by St. Charles Parish, the boat launch "will reopen once water recedes in the area." However, no exact timeline has been provided for when this might occur, leaving many to watch the tides in anticipation, and the Parish's residents waiting as patiently as the water is high.

Residents looking for updates regarding the status of the Des Allemands Boat Launch and potential reopening dates should stay tuned to official parish communications.
