The Bonnet Carre Spillway
In 1931, the Bonnet Carre Spillway was completed and controls floodwaters from the Mississippi River to flow into Lake Pontchartrain and then into the Gulf of Mexico. The Spillway is definitely a site to see and this weekend you have an opportunity to join the Spillway Classic Trail Run.
