A trenasse, French-Acadian for “trail on the marsh”, is a small canal/trail cut through a marsh or bayou. It can be for fisheries access or water movement. They average 2-3 meters wide, and usually are completely overgrown with aquatic vegetation during the growing season.

A trenasse digger is a small, flat-bottomed, motorized boat used to dig small canals or trails through marshlands, allowing fishermen and women access to otherwise inaccessible fishing spots.
