Driving Directions

Driving the Byway

From Thibodaux, the traveler can take La. Hwy. 1 or La. Hwy. 308, following Bayou Lafource southeastward on its slow, meandering way to the Gulf of Mexico. Two other routes can be taken from here. A short northward route to Chackbay, via Hwy. 20, runs through a rural area of sugarcane fields and woods. The southward route starts on Hwy. 20, then goes down a winding Hwy. 90 (Bayou Black Drive) to Houma, then back up Hwy. 311, which runs by several of the much-publicized plantations of the Bayou Country.
