Are you looking to explore a lake near New Orleans that you’ve never seen before? Consider a trip to Lake Fausse State park about 18 miles east of St. Martinville. It’s a beautiful spot surrounded by swamp that we know you will love.
Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is found at 5400 Levee Rd., in St. Martinville, LA.
It's a beautiful, secluded place that you will want to stretch out and relax in.
There are incredible cabins for rent at this park, making it the perfect escape for groups.
They have 18 deluxe cabins that can sleep up to 8 people. But unfortunately due to the flooding last summer, the overnight accommodations are no longer available.
Waking up on the lake with a view like this will certainly make your worries melt away.
And there's amazing wildlife that you can check out here as well.
The park offers boat rentals to visitors as well.
Groups can rent flat bottom boats, kayaks, and canoes and explore the lakes and waterways here.
There are also three nature trails to explore here, totaling over five miles.
Birding is a popular activity here as well, and you can buy the Birder's Guide to Louisiana book to check out which birds might be the most likely to see.
So if you are looking for a beautiful and quiet lake to check out one of these summer days, head over to Lake Fausse.
You might just get to see a beautiful sunset like this.
