Cypress Black Bayou Recreation and Water Conservation District in Benton, Lousiana

Boat Counterclockwise

Due to a terrible accident on Black Bayou this summer, we are reminding everyone that boating on
Cypress or Black Bayou must always be carried out in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE fashion.
That is port-side, meaning that the shore is to your right.
PLEASE use extra caution on Black Bayou, as it is narrow and much smaller.
