There’s an enchanting trail over in southwest Louisiana, and you need to check it out. One of only 43 designated All-American Roads, the Creole Nature Trail will take you through parts of the state that will show you a whole new side of Louisiana. It’s an all-day adventure, so gas up your car and let’s check it out.
This All-American Road, known as Louisiana’s Outback, is filled with alligators, over 400 species of birds, marshes, bayous, over 25 miles of Gulf of Mexico beaches, and a thriving Cajun culture.
This free attraction will give you a heads up as to what’s in store. You’ll learn where the best spots for wildlife viewing are, learn about marshes and bayous, and even get an insight into Cajun and Zydeco music. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the landscape and its importance to the area. Adventure Point is located at 2740 Ruth Street in Sulphur, LA.
