Lake Maurepas is a freshwater lake in southeastern Louisiana. It connects with Lake Pontchartrain via the Pass Manchac, a narrow strip of water. The town of Manchac, Louisiana is along the eastern edge of the lake at Pass Manchac.
The lake is named for Jean-Frédéric Phélypeaux, comte de Maurepas, a French statesman.
[edit] Geography
A Landsat image of Lake Maurepas shows that Interstate 55 (I-55) runs north to south just east of the lake, and I-10 runs east to west, well south of the lake. To the east of the lake, Lake Pontchartrain connects with Lake Maurepas through the stream known as Pass Manchac.
