The Louisiana countryside offers outdoor adventurers some diverse landscapes in which to camp and play. From the coastal marshes, to the cypress swamps, to the rolling hills of pine forests, Louisiana is filled with scenic wonders.

Popular Louisiana outdoor attractions and activities include hiking and camping in the state parks, swamp tours to view the abundant wildlife, great fresh water fishing in the many rivers and lakes, driving tours along scenic backroads, and other favorite places which beckon to backpackers, bird watchers, boaters, cyclists, and nature photographers.

Louisiana makes for a great snowbird destination with its mild winter temperatures and variety of year-round outdoor recreation.
