Just short of six miles long, this thoroughfare begins at Jefferson Highway near Manchac Park and ends along the banks of the Amite River. Though the road itself is unassuming, its name and history are not.
For most of the 20th century, a group of Baton Rouge gentlemen banded together for fishing and fun. They named their club Hoo Shoo Too.
The club, composed of business and professional men in the Capital City, made regular outings to the banks of the Amite River on the path previously known as Clark Road. Early members “took delight in jumping in a buggy, carriage or wagon and heading for cooler summer breezes on the river,” the State-Times newspaper recalled in a February 1980 article.
