Kayak-iti-Yat

Kayak-iti-Yat Capture New Orleans from a different perspective. Kayak on Bayou St. John as we guide you along our historic waterway running through the city. St.

We’ll keep with the pace of the city—nice and easy, taking in the southern scenery, hospitality and weather. The bayou itself was a key component in establishing our city. The Native Americans showed early explorers (uh uh hem, Iberville and his brother, Bienville) the bayou as a way to access, at the time, a potential future city from the Gulf of Mexico without having to fight the Mississippi Riv

er’s strong currents. While kayaking, you will see some of the older city structures, like the Spanish Custom House and the Pitot House, both built in the late 1700’s. You might hear and catch a glimpse of the happenings at Fair Grounds Race Course, one of the oldest horse tracks in the United States, as well as the site of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. You will be paddling along side beautiful City Park, which houses centuries-old live oak trees. You’ll see New Orleans Museum of Art as you pass the grand entrance of the park. Louis Cemetery #3 will be visible from your kayak. The elaborate above-ground tombs are pretty spectacular.

The Music Tree is a beautiful piece of outdoor artwork. It was created by artist Marlin Miller, whose beautiful designs are symbolic of the area’s history and culture. The tree is located on the Jefferson Davis Trail, on the intersection of Orleans Avenue and Bayou St. John.
While this tree survived Hurricane Katrina, it was actually killed by lightning seven years later by Hurricane Isaac.

Another group of students from the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) Multicultural Program on Bayou St John. ASLO is committed to promoting diversity across discipline, country, socioeconomic status, gender and ethnicity. Science fundamentally benefits from having scientists with diverse beliefs, backgrounds, and values to provide broad perspectives on community needs and balance potential biases associated with narrower viewpoints.
