Right next door to New Orleans is Jefferson Parish, with a wild side all our own! Home to the Louis Armstrong International Airport, we offer a variety of attractions, activities, cuisines, and experiences, sprawling over sixty miles from the shores of beautiful Lake Pontchartrain to the rolling waves of the Gulf of Mexico. Adventure awaits in Jefferson Parish. Our diverse region lets you explore nature yet remain close enough to the action of the city. Spend the night camping on the beach beneath the stars at Grand Isle State Park. Find the perfect fishing hole in Lafitte. Watch in amazement as your swamp tour guide feeds the alligators in the Barataria swamps. You will find hiking and nature trails just waiting to be explored throughout our parks.

Otherwise quiet communities come alive with the sounds of music and laughter, coupled with the scent of local foods like jambalaya, crawfish etouffee, and fried seafood.
