Kayaking and/or canoeing can be a great way to explore Louisiana’s beautiful waterways at your own speed. Lake Martin in particular happens to be one of the most gorgeous lakes in Louisiana, and you can rent a canoe or a kayak and spend some time on the lake, traversing through the cypress knees and lazy waterways. Let’s check it out.

You’ll find Lake Martin on the outskirts of Breaux Bridge in the heart of Cajun Country.
