Hidden Harbor Marina a Convenient Stop on Lake Pontchartrain

Hidden Harbor Marina is a little-known, no frills marina conveniently located in Madisonville on Lake Pontchartrain. Lake Pontchartrain is an estuary that lays between the Gulf of Mexico and the Rigolets Strait, and is considered one of the largest wetlands along the Gulf Coast. This marina's location right on the Tchefuncte River makes it an excellent stop for boaters on the Great Loop, as well as boaters looking to spend a lazy day on the river. Those who want to travel around the lake can head South to New Orleans, enjoying beautiful scenery along the way. Madisonville, Lousiana is a small town offering great seafood shacks, wetlands and a bit of history. Boaters should head out to see the Tchefuncte River Light Station, a famous lighthouse on the banks of the river. The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum is also nearby, as well as a state park.
