The low-lying marshlands of St. Bernard Parish are defined by a complex network of man-made canals and natural bayous that support the region's historical connection to the water. Settlements like Saint Bernard, Kenilworth, and Reggio are clustered along the northern and eastern ridges, while Delacroix and Delacroix Island sit deep within the wetlands to the south. This landscape is a patchwork of drainage and navigation efforts, ranging from the Eighty Arpent Canal to the Schooner Canal, which cut through the expanse near Lake Lery and Lost Lake.
