The bayou is so named because of the legendary pirate Jean Lafitte , who built a slave barracks on the bayou in the early 1800s[2] contraband somewhere along the shores of the bayou.[3]
The bayou is moderately saline, with low flow, and receives Lake Charles municipal waste discharge.[1] [4] cypress trees, the saltwater brought in during this dredging caused some to die off, leaving behind stumps in the water.[5]
The bayou runs through the McNeese State University campus.[3] L'Auberge du Lac Resort is located near the mouth of the bayou, and the resort's Contraband Bayou Golf Club is named for it.[6] Port of Lake Charles are also located near the bayou.[citation needed
