There are some really amazing adventures that you can have in the Louisiana swamps, and one of the biggest reasons for that is how scary alligators can be. You never quite know where they are lurking, and their jaws are some of the most powerful in the entire gulf coast region. So, you can bet that a trip to the Natchitoches Alligator Park is chock full of adventure!

Getting to the park is easy, and it is about a 4 hour drive from New Orleans to the site. The address is 380 Old Bayou Pierre Rd, Natchitoches, LA.
