Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge

This sprawling refuge offers activities such as hunting, fishing & hiking plus wildlife observation. 

"Upon entering the state of Louisiana, it can almost feel like you’re entering a different country. The smells, sights, and culture are distinctly Louisianan. Containing 14 different parishes in south-central Louisiana, Atchafalaya National Heritage Area encompasses the state’s very unique Cajun heritage. Of course, there’s an aesthetic component to the National Park Service’s selection of land, too, as the landscapes range from wetlands and wildlife refuges to marshes. While here, be sure to take a boat tour through the swamps of the Bayou." [Travel+Leisure]
