Get directions from

From I-10 exit to West End Blvd. and continue towards the lake. Take a left just before the West End sign on the wall and continue around the marina until you see the park and boat launch.

None, but this launch is sketchy in and out so you must be able to stay upwind and be an advanced rider.

New Orleans offers a great nightlife.
