(Vermilion Bayou District)- All boat traffic on the Bayou Vermilion is prohibited at this time.

Due to the river being above flood stage, the creation of wakes is a problem for bank erosion and pushing water into homeowners’ backyards. Once the water returns to a safe level, then boat traffic can resume.

Until then, please be aware there should be no traffic on the river.

This is at 300 Fisher Road, Lafayette, La., Bayou Vermilion.
