The Creole Nature Trail is one of 43 scenic byways designated as an All-American Road in the United States.
This free attraction will give you a taste of what you’re in store for. Through hands-on displays, you’ll learn about Louisiana’s unique Cajun culture, our wildlife, music, food, and more. Adventure Point is located at 2740 Ruth St., Sulphur, LA 70665.
The most popular portion of the trail is the main loop from Sulphur to the Gulf of Mexico and then back up to Lake Charles. This will take you about five hours, depending on how often you stop along the way.
You’ll also have the opportunity to spot countless wildlife along the way. Not only is this road trip a bird watchers dream come true, but more than 15,000 alligators live in the wetlands along the trail, so keep your eyes peeled for these beautiful beasts.
