Kaplan

Kaplan is located in the rural heartland of South Louisiana’s Cajun Prairie, known for its rural beauty.

Things to Do

For bird watching, head to the nature trail at the White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area. Housed in a historical building, the Gueydan Museum showcases photographs and artifacts of the area, including duck decoys and the world's largest working duck call. 

Places to Stay

Try Crawfish Haven/Mrs. Rose’s Bed and Breakfast, a B&B that offers crawfishing excursions, or L'Banca Albergo (The Bank Hotel) in nearby Lake Arthur.

Where to Eat

Suire's Grocery & Restaurant serves straight-up country cooking like shrimp and okra gumbo, alligator po'boys and fried catfish. 

Getting There

If you’re flying into town, Lake Charles Regional Airport and Lafayette Regional Airport are each about an hour away. From either, rent a car and drive to Gueydan.
