Description

Manchac is located on Lake Maurepas on the Pass Manchac waterway, which connects to Lake Pontchartrain. It is home to the ruins of one of the five lighthouses set up for Lake Pontchartrain. The existing lighthouse (the fourth on the site) was completed in 1857. It was automated in 1941, and the dwelling was razed in 1952; the Coast Guard decommissioned the light and abandoned the property in 1987.

Manchac is known for fishing, duck hunting, seafood restaurants like Middendorf's, and swamp tours. It is also home to the Port Manchac Distribution Center, with storage facilities and rail, truck, and water links to the east, west, and north. Interstate 55 has exit and entrance ramps for Manchac.
