I am making a trip to New Orleans on the last weekend in April. I want to take the boat out on Lake Ponchartrain one of the days. I have done a little searching on the internet and not found much information. It looks like there are some bars / restaurants accessible from the lake around the Westend area - just west of the Lakefront Airport. I believe I saw a Joes Crab shack and a few other things. Is there a public boat launch on the south end of the lake near Westend? Is there a place / marina I could park and leave the boat while I party in the city during the weekend. If anyone from the area could write me back and give me a few of the ins and outs I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
