Review:

Lake Charles, a town in southwestern Louisiana, is popular for it’s gambling opportunities, and it is home to four casino properties as well as a racetrack. Once you have had your fill of blackjack and slots, there are plenty of other amusements and attractions nearby. The area is rich in Cajun culture, music, and food. The Louisiana’s Outback on the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road is a popular way to experience a bit of Cajun cultural flavor. The Trail offers over 26 miles of natural, undeveloped beaches, fishing, crabbing, and opportunities to explore the marshlands. Exploring this area gives you a chance to encounter wildlife, including alligators. Several tour companies take visitors on guided fishing trips, paddle boarding, or kayaking on nearby Prien Lake or Calcasieu River.
