Description:
Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve offers an immersive look into the wild wetlands and rich cultural history of southern Louisiana. Located just outside New Orleans, the park features scenic boardwalk trails that wind through cypress swamps, marshes, and bayous teeming with wildlife like alligators and wading birds. Named after the legendary pirate Jean Lafitte, the park also explores the region’s Cajun, Creole, and Indigenous heritage through exhibits and ranger programs. It’s a peaceful escape that blends nature, history, and classic Louisiana atmosphere.
