Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is located about 18 miles from St. Martinville in Louisiana, next to the Atchafalaya Basin.

The Chitimacha Indians once populated this lovely 6,000-acre park. It has a boat launch, splash park, playground, pavilions, picnic area, restrooms, numerous nature trails, and marked canoe trails.

There are also simple campsites, 18 cabins, and 50 RV campsites. The park is full of wildlife, including raccoons, whitetail deer, black bears, cottonmouth snakes, alligators, armadillos and bobcats.

There is an interpretive center that offers detailed information and various exhibits about the park plants and animals, and it provides a boat launch and dock for kayaks, canoes, and other small boats.

There are three major hiking trails that allow biking as well. Numerous canoe trails are well marked and offer access to several basic canoe campsites.
