Mile 43.1 - RBD Happy Jack

43.1 RBD Happy Jack

Happy Jack, like its name suggests, is a little piece of paradise in the Louisiana Delta below New Orleans, and this is supported by a website with the same name. The Who could have written their song about this location: "Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man. He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man..." The only thing the Happy Jack website doesn’t tell you is that the land is disappearing and the oceans are rising. Land prices are great here. But what good is that land title if it’s underwater? Keep reading below for the attraction of Happy Jack, but remember: if you buy in you might need snorkels and fins to find the surveyor’s marks for your homesite!

Happy Jack Quick Facts: 1) All lots have vinyl sheet piles for bulkheads; 2) Lots are 50’ wide with a depth of 100’; 3) Conveniently located in the center of Plaquemines Parish; 4) Easy drive by way of spacious 4 lane highway; 5) Parish sewer service to each lot. Anglers from all over America travel to Plaquemines Parish in order to experience for themselves the spectacular fishing of Port Sulphur and Happy Jack. This area offers hundreds of miles of grassy shorelines, cuts, bays, bayous, ponds, and beaches. You can be fishing in a quiet, well-protected, semifreshwater marsh in the morning and move to a pure, saltwater marsh in the evening catching trout within minutes of the Gulf. The Port Sulphur marsh is home to a unique estuary that produces some of the best fishing, crabbing, and shrimping to be found anywhere on the Gulf Coast. Happy Jack and Port Sulphur have always been and will always be a favorite fishing “hot spot” for generations of people. Fishing havens such as Lake Grande Ecaille, Lake Washington, Bay Sanbois, Billet Bay, Bay Long, Lake Robinson, and Grande Bayou Pass at the Gulf can now be just a short run from your own camp at Happy Jack Waterfront Sites. Forget about trailering your boat and waiting in lines to launch. Never worry about building your dream camp on leased land. Here is your chance to own a piece of Plaquemines Parish that has a true sense of community about itself. You know it and so do we...NOBODY has the quality of fishing that Plaquemines Parish offers to its anglers. When you combine this fact with the absolute beauty of the coastal marshes, it is quite evident to see why so many people have been lured in and captured by the whole fishing experience. Happy Jack Waterfront Sites will allow you to wake up from a good night’s sleep, eat a hot breakfast, and head out for a great day of fishing. Come back later in the day, tie up to your dock, clean your fish, and pick up your boat in your covered wet slip. Step inside, take a shower, and relax in your own camp while you plan on which way to cook your catch. This is the dream that becomes a reality at Happy Jack Waterfront Sites!
