Review:
Southeast Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish extends from southeast of New Orleans into the Gulf of Mexico, with the town of Port Eads at its tip.
The area, at the confluence of the Mississippi River and the Gulf is a world class fishing destination, and home to over 78 saltwater and freshwater lakes.
In addition to fishing, the 2,500-square mile region is a destination for eco tourism. Enjoy the outdoors along hiking and cycling trails, or canoe and kayak the waterways.
Over half the species of US birds can be found along the coastal marshes, as well as migrating species from central and south America. Drive the Great River Road, a scenic byway. Map
