The Tickfaw River is a rugged and remote waterway that travels through heavily forested, undeveloped terrain in southeastern Louisiana. The river, unlike many of the nearby streams, has a minimal current, no sand or gravel bars, and consists of mostly muddy waters, making it a good option for paddlers seeking some variety. The river can be accessed at J&W Campground for a small launch fee and the take-out is at the state park which is easily accessible.
