Review & FAQ:

The Creole Nature Trail consists of 180 miles of roadway running through the outback of the state of Louisiana. This route is known for its scenic views and crosses several nature reserves. Among the animals living along the trail are 400 types of birds, alligators, and tons of fish and shellfish in the nearby waters.

A good place to begin a trip on this route is at Creole Nature Trail Adventure Point, a free exhibit that shows off Louisiana’s natural splendor and Cajun roots. This center has mainly interactive displays, making it both interesting for the kids and an informative start to an adventure through Louisiana.
