Bayou Lafourche, originally called Chetimachas River or La Fourche des Chetimaches, is a 106-mile-long (171 km) bayou in southeastern Louisiana, United States, that flows into the Gulf of Mexico. It was formerly a natural distributary of the Mississippi River; its source was sealed from the Mississippi by a dam in 1904, but since 1950 a water pump station has provided flow to the bayou.
