Known as Louisiana's Outback, the Creole Nature Trail meanders through thousands of acres of beautiful scenery, untouched wetlands, marshes, prairies, and along the Gulf of Mexico. When you travel the Creole Nature Trail, you will get an up-close and personal view of Louisiana's unique environment. View alligators and birds up close, along with colorful wildflowers and rare cheniers shaped by salty winds, as you loop through Calcasieu and Cameron parishes in Southwest Louisiana. If you like to photograph or hunt wildlife, the trail takes you to three different wildlife refuges and a bird sanctuary. You may like to try your hand at a little Louisiana fishing. The combination of fresh and saltwater areas provides a unique habitat for many of the plants and creatures that live along the byway.
