In the heart of the Atchafalaya basin, Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is a fantastic playground: three footpaths, canoe rentals, picnic spots and water games for kids. Paths skirt the huge Atchafalaya stretch of water, dotted with wooded islets and thick forests on the horizon. An enchanting, almost magical site set in lush vegetation and humming with the sound of birdsong.
