Lake Palourde
Birds of Prey, Pelicans and Pileated Woodpeckers
Located northeast of Morgan City, this freshwater lake—aptly named "Palourde," the French word for "clam" likely served as an important food source for early French settlers in the region. Today, its lush wetlands and calm waters offer a vibrant haven for both wildlife and people. A favorite spot for local swimmers and fishermen, Lake Palourde is teeming with life, from its thriving fish populations to the birds that call its cypress-lined shores home. |
Lake Maurepas
Secret Serenity
West of Lake Pontchartrain lies a hidden gem, a quiet lake with barely a trace of civilization. Its unique freshwater ecosystem is rich with life, and its untouched shores, framed by cypress trees and sprawling wetlands, offer a glimpse of Louisiana in its most natural state. |
