unsuccessful attempt
Located just a few miles from Weeks Island along LA-38, this is a salt dome that has significant rise in an
otherwise low-lying bayou parish. Turn south onto Cote Blanche Crossing near the Cote Blanche Mine sign.
We got as far as Bayou Carlin, directly across from the island. We called the ferry guy but he would
not let us cross. Permission will be needed to get this one and it may not necessarily be granted.
Phone numbers: Cote Blanche Salt Mine Office: 337-923-7514, Ferry: 337-923-6807.
We took an enjoyable side trip to Cypremort State Park while in the area.
