The FAA records 28 operational heliports and helipads within 25 miles of Baton Rouge. Not one of them is designated public use, so every arrival is by the owner's permission. A charter operator arranges that permission while planning the flight, which is why the owner contact on a record matters more than the pad does.

They sit across Baton Rouge (17), Gonzales (3), Carville (1), Denham Springs (1), Donaldsonville (1), Plaquemine (1), and other communities in the metro.
Heliports only. Airports are a separate class of facility and are not counted here, and a charter into Baton Rouge may well work from one.
Every heliport within 25 miles of Baton Rouge
Distance is measured from the middle of Baton Rouge, so the top of this list is what sits closest to town. Pad size is the landing area, not the property. Open any record on the map for surface, lighting, elevation, inspection date, and the owner contact that gets you permission.

Are there public-use heliports in Baton Rouge?
No. Every one of the 28 heliports in the Baton Rouge area is private use, which means landing starts with permission from the owner or manager. A charter operator arranges that as part of planning the flight. The public-use designation is rare everywhere: only 56 heliports carry it nationally.
Does this include Baton Rouge airports?
