Jefferson Parish begins in the shallow waters of Lake Pontchartrain, wades ashore in Kenner and Metairie and stretches sixty miles south, across the Mississippi River, through a borderland of bayou-laced swampland and then over miles of marsh and coastal bays to two barrier islands for some surf-casting in the Gulf of Mexico.
