Our swamps and rivers have
a symbiotic relationship.
Swamps are low-elevation,
fresh, brackish or salt-water
wetlands dominated by
woody plants and trees. Our
swamps are associated with
the mighty Mississippi River,
creating a haven for nutrient
rich land where animals
and plants thrive. It is the
perfect setting for outdoor
adventurers to explore.
Numerous boat launches in
our region, make it easy for
anyone to have access to
our waterways. Enjoy world
famous catfishing or crabbing
on Lac Des Allemands.
