LA-1 runs through South Lafourche Prish along Bayou Lafourche, past the levee walls and floodgates at Golden Meadow, and all the way to Port Fourchon. Seven miles of LA-1, from Leeville to Port Fourchon, are elevated to withstand flooding. The remaining eight miles, from Golden Meadow to Leeville, are level with the Bayou, and remain vulnerable to frequent flooding.
