Lake Maurepas actually is considered "navigable waters" by the USCG, because it connects to the Gulf via Lake Ponchartrain. Here in Seattle we have two lakes which are only accessible via a canal and locks, and they're also "navigable waters" (and, oddly enough, "International" waters vs "Inland", so far as COLREGS is concerned). The phone # for USCG 8th District (that's you) aids to navigation office is 504-589-6277.

The Coast Guard operates in ocean waters and navigable rivers (meaning there is commercial traffic). They don't do lakes. I would contact whatever agency you would call if you were sinking. They have the jurisdiction.
Or, you could flag it yourself.
