There is more to life in Louisiana than crawfish boils, bayous, and alligators. There is the vibrant city of New Orleans, of course, and Mardi Gras. And there is False River, which is actually a lake! False River used to be the main channel of the Mississippi River before the river changed course and left behind this lake. Boating, fishing, and swimming are popular here. Why don’t you find a waterfront cottage to your liking and stay awhile? You’ll be glad you did.

The Blue Heron on False River is a cottage in Oscar, Louisiana. The upper deck wraps around the cottage and includes a table and chairs, and a gas grill. The lower deck is well situated for fishing.
