The Amite River is a designated Natural Scenic River that offers paddlers lots of pristine scenery and wildlife viewing opportunity in southeast Louisiana. The section between Highway 432 and Highway 10 is the most scenic stretch of river that is easily accessible. The access from Highway 432 is not the most convenient but is possible by using a dirt path on the northeast side of the bridge. The only parking available at the put-in is on the shoulder of the road. The scenery along the way includes lots of undeveloped wooded terrain and large sandbars that contrast the green vegetation along the banks.
