We love South Louisiana, because our way of life is very unique. Within a very short driving distance, there are so many places to see and adventures to experience. Louisiana is often referred to as 'Sportsman's Paradise.' This is so true!
The nearby Atchafalaya Basin is the nation's largest river swamp, containing almost one million acres of America's most significant bottomland hardwoods, swamps, bayous, and backwater lakes.
When you launch your boat into Pierre Part Bay, you will have access to endless waterways, including Lake Verret and Belle River. Bring your own fishing gear to experience some of the best fresh-water fishing in the country. If you are a bass fisherman, you can access bass-fishing paradise through Bayou Boeuf, Flat Lake, Lake Verret, Six Mile Lake, Lower Atchafalaya River, Bayou Long, Duck Lake and many others.
Numerous day trips are available including plantation tours of historic River Road Plantations, the Louisiana Capitol City of Baton Rouge, the French Quarter, the National World War II Museum, Audubon Zoo, the Aquarium of the Americas all located in historic and fun-filled New Orleans.
