If you are looking for some of the most beautiful places in all of Louisiana, you’ll want to check out this list. How many of these places have you visited? If you love the outdoors and you love Louisiana, this should be your bucket list.
- Atchafalaya Basin
Facebook.com / Louisiana Only / Nicole Copeland You’ll enjoy this absolutely gorgeous landmark in Louisiana, the largest wetland and swamp in the United States, where the combination of wetlands and river delta make for an absolutely breathtaking waterway.
- Kisatchie Bayou
Facebook.com / Louisiana Only / Shelly Guillory There are some truly beautiful places around this bayou to put your feet up and relax. You’ll fall in love with the gently running water here as well as the beaches that surround.
- Caddo Lake
Facebook.com / Nancy Naremore / Only in Louisiana Known by many as one of the best places to fish in the entire country, Caddo Lake’s unique shape provides boaters and anglers alike with the best of both worlds—open water and more intimate swampy shores.
- Grand Isle
Facebook.com / Only in Louisiana / GayeMarie Troxclair One of the few barrier islands that is still intact—and many questioning how long it will last, Grand Isle offers hands down the best views of the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana and plays host each year to a large gathering of bird lovers since this isle is a favorite stopping point for birds migrating from South America.
- Lake Martin
Facebook.com / Memories by Monique Photography / Only In Louisiana This magical spot is in the backyard of Lafayette and attracts bird lovers from around the world since it is a rookery for so many of the migratory species that can be spotted flying around the country. But to me it’s the Spanish moss here that really seals the deal.
- Sabine National Wildlife Refuge
Facebook.com / Only in Louisiana / Chuck Curet Sometimes lovingly called the Outback of Louisiana, it is in these marshes that a full array of hunting and fishing can be found, not to mention the numerous reptiles that call this area home.
- Sicily Falls
Facebook.com / Grace Baptist Church One of the only proper and natural waterfalls in Louisiana, this hidden little spot is sure to bring a smile to your face.
- Toledo Bend
Facebook.com / High Octane Images / Rickie Smith The largest man-made reservoir in the United States, there are not one but two state parks found on the shores here, not to mention Hodges Gardens right down the street. When you visit, you can understand why—the sunsets are incredible.
- Bogue Chitto
Flickr.com / Bart Everson Another winding creek in Southeastern LA, the Bogue Chitto is the top place to go tubing in the entire state—you won’t go home disappointed! The float is beautiful.
- Ouiska Chitto River
Facebook.com / Stephen Staples This winding river in Central Louisiana has been a favorite destination for boaters looking for a beautiful place to take a canoe out along tree and moss lined banks. It’s a tender little spot with plenty of places to pull the boat up along the beach.
