Lafitte's Barataria Museum and Wetland Trace — Attraction in Jean Lafitte

We were looking to get some nature and do a nice boardwalk and came across this place online. Come to find that there are almost no notices on the state of this place. The museum was closed(?) with no indication if it was closed or not. There were very few signs and it looked like you were walking into a construction area, but once you reach the boardwalk things were great. It was very peaceful and filled with life. We even saw a gator!

They really need to work on their information...

This is truly an up and close encounter with nature.

Be very very careful, the snakes were out and sent us running ( I was not expecting them be that close) I am glad my son spotted the snake and I was looking up and taking pictures of the trees.

This is truly a beautiful and fun experience... I must say.

No guide it is a self guided walk Bring your bug spray, camera,smile and sun block have fun and create memories with your family. It is...

Beautiful nature trail and raised wooden pathway through the swamp. Meander through cypress trees covered in Spanish moss, amidst the calls of birds and alligators. There are plenty of benches under covered pavilions interspersed throughout this serene natural course. If you find yourself in Jean Lafitte, make sure not to leave without experiencing this wonderful insight...
