Bayou Manchac is an 18-mile-long (29 km) [1] bayou in southeast Louisiana, USA. First called the Iberville River ("rivière d'Iberville") by its French discoverers, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] the bayou was once a very important waterway linking the Mississippi River (west end) to the Amite River (east end).
The bayou is flanked by Louisiana Highway 1 on the west and Louisiana Highway 308 on the east, and is known as "the longest Main Street in the world." [5] It flows through parts of Ascension, Assumption, and Lafourche parishes. Today, approximately 300,000 Louisiana residents drink water drawn from the bayou. [6]
