About the tickfaw river


The Tickfaw River is a 97-mile-long river in southeastern Louisiana that flows through St. Helena, Tangipahoa, Livingston, and St. Tammany parishes. The river has a rich history, having been used by Native Americans for transportation and later by European settlers for logging and agriculture. The hydrology of the river has been significantly altered by the construction of reservoirs and dams, including the Blood River Dam and the Percy Quin Dam. These dams have helped to regulate the flow of the river and provide flood control. The Tickfaw River is used extensively for recreational activities, including fishing and boating, and is an important source of water for agriculture.
