The Atchafalaya Natural Heritage Area is a National Park protecting 150 square miles of swamps, marshland, rivers and prairies along the Louisiana coast.
The park is suitable for hiking, cycling, canoeing or kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Swamp walks and swamp tours via boat are operated via third party vendors including the Atchafalaya Experience and Cajun Country Swamp Tours.
Known as “America’s Foreign Country,” several distinct cultural areas make up the park, including the Upper Atchafalaya, Between Two Rivers, the Bayou Teche Corridor, Coastal Zone and Entire Atchafalaya.
Ranger led programs take place daily and include cultural and historical events.
