Jefferson Parish is a diverse community with a wild side all of its own! Home to Louis Armstrong International Airport, we offer a variety of attractions, cuisines and experiences stretching across 60 miles, from the shores of beautiful Lake Pontchartrain to the rolling waves of the Gulf of Mexico. This diverse region lets you explore nature, yet remain close enough to the action of the city. Enjoy a leisurely stroll on the Bucktown Marsh Boardwalk, located on Lake Pontchartrain. In Lafitte, you can find the perfect fishing hole. Watch in amazement as your swamp tour guide feeds alligators in the Barataria swamps. You will find hiking and nature trails just waiting to be explored throughout our parks. Family-friendly festivals abound in Jefferson Parish and quiet communities come alive with the sounds of music and laughter, coupled with the scent of local foods. Plan a day of shopping at four major malls, specialty shops and boutiques that are unique to the region. Make time to follow the Louisiana Oyster Trail, a collection of restaurants featuring local art and many ways to savor Louisiana oysters. Come take a walk on the wild side of Jefferson Parish!
