For a paddle rich in ecological visuals, venture through the 150-mile Atchafalaya Basin. The basin is the largest river swamp in the country with opportunities to fish, boat and hunt through rivers, bayous and swamps. Hundreds of species of fish and birds abound, and alligators and black bears call the swamp home, too.

For an expert commentary on the local ecosystem, try out a swamp tour with McGee’s Louisiana Swamp & Airboat Tours. Guides will take you deep into the swamp to see cypress trees, discuss culture and experience wildlife.
