20 Extraordinary Road Trips That Will Change the Way You Travel
11. Bayou Beauty on the Creole Nature Trail
Wind through southwest Louisiana’s wild side on the Creole Nature Trail, a scenic byway where marshes, alligators, and Cajun culture collide. Known as Louisiana’s Outback, this route offers chances to spot rare birds, cast a line for redfish, and dig your toes into “America’s Last Great Wilderness.” Stop in Lake Charles for boudin and zydeco music, then explore wildlife refuges like Sabine and Cameron Prairie. Bring binoculars and a sense of wonder—this road trip serves up untouched landscapes and deep Southern soul in equal measure.
