Louisiana's 39 State Parks, Historic Sites and
Preservation Area are your doorway to Louisiana's
natural bounty. The state parks feature first class
facilities including comfortable cabins and numerous
activities such as canoe trails, fishing, hiking, interpretive
programs, archaeology and even concerts. Louisiana's
historic sites transport visitors to a time of antebellum
living and the American Civil War, as well as offering a
fascinating look into ancient Native American history,
some of which predates the arrival of European settlers
by almost 1,500 years.
State Parks, Historic Sites
and Preservation Area
Louisiana's 39 State Parks, Historic Sites and
Preservation Area are also a vivid reminder that the
state's living culture of music, architecture and food
owes its distinctness to the unique geography. Even
today, the abundance of wildlife is amazing -- inland and
coastal waters are full of fish, and shrimp, and Louisiana
is home to North America's primary migratory flyway,
with flocks of songbirds and waterfowl darkening the
sky. Whether set amongst subtropical palmetto-dotted
wetlands, along lazy bayous or within stately old-growth
forests, Louisiana's State Parks delight and inspire.
Louisiana has long celebrated the respectful co-existence
of man and nature; the result is soul-restoring, inspiring,
and life-affirming.
