Vermilion River (Louisiana)
The
Vermilion River
(or the Bayou Vermilion) is a
river
in southern Louisiana in the
United States
. It is formed on the common boundary of
Lafayette
and
St. Martin
parishes by a
confluence
of small
bayous
flowing from
St. Landry Parish
, and flows generally southward through Lafayette and
Vermilion
parishes, past the cities of
Lafayette
and
Abbeville
. At the port of
Intracoastal City
, the
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
crosses the river before the latter flows into
Vermilion Bay
, an inlet of the
Gulf of Mexico
. The river originates at Bayou Fusilier, which is fed by
Bayou Teche
; winds its way through Lafayette Parish; and drains into the Vermilion Bay below Vermilion Parish.
