Pointe à la Hache Ferry

The Pointe à la Hache Ferry or Pointe a la Hache Ferry, is a ferry across the Mississippi River in the U.S. state of Louisiana, connecting West Pointe à la Hache and Pointe à la Hache in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.

As the eastbank of Plaquemines Parish has little population in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, ferry service to the eastbank occurs at the top of every hour between 6 AM and 10 PM, as well as at 6:30 AM.

Likewise, ferry service to the westbank occurs at 6:15 AM, 6:45 AM, and on the bottom of every hour between 7:30 AM and 10:30 PM.

Although the ferry originally carried a toll, it was also free at some points in its history.

[4] In May 2013, it was reopened for light traffic (including passenger cars and pickup-trucks, but not for large trucks or buses).
