Routing Directions
Proceed on I-12 from east to Covington, LA
I-12 West from Covington to I-55 (just past Hammond) (approximately 23 miles)
I-55 South to Manchac exit (about 18 miles)
Finish - Manchac, LA
Exit I-55 at the Manchac exit (south) and cross bridge past Middendorf's restaurant. Take first left you can make (street signs say "Galva Crossover" at the front, then “Bait Alley” by the railroad tracks), cross RR tracks and take an immediate right. You will see the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries boat sheds, which we share with them. Parking for Turtle Cove is as far to the rear of the parking lot as you can go (park on the edges of the circular drive).
