You ll like the "other side- lots of places to boat and explore- I personally like the blind river side best- Blind River Bar is new and updated and nicer than Prop Stop if you continue up diversion canal- stop and eat at Kevins or Hill top- -venture into Amite River or up Blind River for scenic rides.

Robs maps also detail fuel stops -

Up Tickfaw there is Prop stop, Tin Lizzy's and fuel as well

Can't hang at the barrooms, can't risk my CG license involving a DUI. The restaurants are definitely interesting though. I'll have to pick up a chart and get an early start one day to explore the area. Looks like I can make a loop by way of the Diversion Canal eh?

I sure there are no wake zones about, any that you can point out off hand?

Thanks again Chap...

on the lower amite there are a couple of low bridges- depending on water level whether you can pass - get the map you will see you can exit diversion/blind river at blind river bar- up blind river to Petite amite and back to diversion- up amite river to Port Vincent- another eatery

Lots of places to ride and explore-

IF you are a burger guy- Best burgers are- Fuel stop at Pass manchac (next to Middendorfs) Prop Stop, Blind RIver bar-

Seafood- Middendorfs, Kevins and Hilltop--- lower amite- Vals

Explore the Tickfaw area- also- nice riding- fuel available- but lacking on -eateries by boat

I'll vouch for Darren at Bent Marine. He knows his stuff and has been in the business for years.

when you exit Lake Maurepas into Blind River your first no wake zone will be at the junction of Blind River and Diversion Canal- also the Blind River Bar is there- great burgers too

The next zone will be where Diversion and the Petite Amite junction - also a fuel stop there- shortly up the river is Kevins Restauarant- Excellent food as you near that area which includes the bridge there is a no wake zone,

Under the bridge no wake zone- a short hop and another no wake zone as you near Hilltop Inn- another very good eatery- Next wake zone is when you exit Diversion canal where it joins the Amite River- travel up river to Port Vincent or Down river which takes you the long way back to either Diversion canal or Lake Maurepas- there are a couple of very low bridges.
