Titillating Adventure Awaits in Louisiana

04 Honey Island Swamp

If you want a break from the manicured plantation grounds, head over to Honey Island Swamp in St. Tammany Parish. This unique wilderness has the distinction of being one of the most pristine swamplands in the United States. The terrain and wildlife can be treacherous, so the best way to see the swamp is to book a tour from one of several operators in the area. Keep your eyes peeled for the abundant wildlife, including alligators, bears, owls, and water birds. There are even rumors of a Bigfoot-like swamp monster lurking among the cypress trees.
