Mile 118.0 - RBD - 115 LBD Fairview Crossing

118 RBD - 115 LBD Fairview Crossing

Paddlers can follow this crossing once safely underneath and past the Luling Bridge, if the coast is clear. Otherwise maintain a line of travel in between main channel and the Kenner Anchorages. Watch for off-channel traffic between anchored freighters and fleeted barges tight against West Bank. Smaller tows (1-6 barges) tend to cut the corner and current here along the Kenner Bend by running in between the big parked ships and the fleeted barges. As you watch the river for oncoming traffic you will also start seeing traffic of another kind, for you also more friendly: that is big commercial jets flying in and out of the Louis Armstrong International Airport, which is located just downstream behind Kenner.
