Everything about The Tchefuncte River totally explained
The
Tchefuncte River (chuh-FUNK-tuh) drains into
Lake Pontchartrain in
Louisiana in the
United States. It is about long.
In the
19th century it was an important commercial waterway, where building materials and other products of the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain were loaded to be shipped across the Lake to
New Orleans.
Course
The Tchefuncte rises in northeastern
Tangipahoa Parish and initially flows southward; the river is used to define part of the eastern boundary of Tangipahoa Parish and parts of the western boundaries of
Washington and
St. Tammany Parishes before turning southeastward into St. Tammany Parish, where it passes the city of
Covington and the town of
Madisonville. It collects its largest tributary, the
Bogue Falaya, at Covington and flows into Lake Pontchartrain about south of Madisonville, near the lake's northern extremity.
The Tchefuncte has been designated by the government of Louisiana as a "Natural and Scenic River."
Fairview-Riverside State Park is located along the river upstream of Madisonville.
