About the comite river
The Comite River is a 70-mile long river in Louisiana that flows through East Baton Rouge Parish and Livingston Parish before joining the Amite River. The river has a rich history, dating back to the early 1700s when it was used by Native American tribes for transportation and fishing. Today, it is primarily used for agriculture, with a number of farms and ranches along its banks.
The Comite River is also home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Comite Diversion Canal and the Joor Road Dam. These structures help regulate the flow of water in the river and prevent flooding during times of heavy rain.
In addition to its agricultural uses, the Comite River is also a popular destination for fishing and boating enthusiasts. The river is home to a variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie. Recreational facilities, such as parks and boat launches, are available along the river for visitors to enjoy.
