The weather is heating up, and before you know it, we’ll be in those long, hot, dog days of summer. Finding new places to cool down on a summer day in Louisiana can be tricky, but we’ve found one incredible inflatable water park that’s fun for the whole family. It’s a bit of a road trip from New Orleans, but worth every mile. Let’s check it out.
White Sands Lake Day Beach might be one of the most incredible hidden gems in southeastern Louisiana. You’ll find it tucked away in Franklinton, which is about 60 miles north of New Orleans.
It’ll take you just over an hour to get there, but we promise, it’s worth the extra effort.
It’s a picture perfect setting that’ll make you think you’re on your own little tropical getaway.
Slather on the sunscreen, sink your toes in the sand, and get ready to have a relaxing beach day.
The park is open from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.
You’ll want to get there early so you can snag a good spot. Daily passes are only $15 for adults (12+) and $10 for kids (3-11).
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own gear which includes inflatable rafts, umbrellas, and even their own grills.
But you can also rent one of their cabanas which provide ample share, picnic tables, and charcoal grills.
One of the main attractions is of course, the giant inflatable water park.
You won’t find anything like it anywhere nearby.
The aqua park includes attractions that are good for all ages, and will make you feel like a kid again.
From trampolines to slides, you’ll have a blast on these inflatables. Especially the blog bag, where you can send your friends soaring into the air.
After you’ve played in the park, consider renting one of their boats to explore the lake at your own pace.
They offer paddle boats, kayaks and stand up paddle boards. Something for everyone!
White Sands Lake Day Beach is open from Tuesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. until Labor Day.
Address: 52129 Sandstone Boulevard, Franklinton, LA, 70438
