Kayak The Honey Island Swamp In Louisiana For A Scenic, Relaxing Adventure

The Honey Island Swamp features over 70,000 acres of untouched natural beauty. In fact, it’s one of the least-altered river swamps in the United States and considered to be one of the most pristine swamplands in the country. If you’ve never explored this emerald oasis, you’re in for a real treat. While airboats and pontoon boats are the most popular avenue to explore the swamp, kayaking offers you much more freedom and space. Let’s check it out.
