The Mississippi River and the Intracoastal Waterway, which run through the parish, add the option of barge and even ocean-going water travel. The Port of Greater Baton Rouge, the sixth largest port in the country, is only 12 miles away, providing a deep water shipping facility that handles bulk commodities and can load or unload ocean-going vessels and barges. In addition, the Intracoastal Waterway provides a shortcut of 130 miles to the Gulf of Mexico.
