PLAY, STAY, THEN ADD A DAY ith rolling hills and lush forests to explore in the north, mysterious swamps and bayous in the south and everything in between, nature’s bounty is on full display. W And with activities like hiking, biking, paddling, fishing and more, there are plenty of awesome places where you can play, stay, then add a day! @Magnolia_Ridge_Park Magnolia Ridge Adventure Park, Ethel South Louisiana Play: Catch some fish (and a sunset or two) on Lake Pontchartrain , Grand Lake or check out the birding and nature trails at White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area , then ramp up the fun on the state’s longest zipline at Magnolia Ridge Adventure Park . Stay: Along with wildlife, this area is teeming with artsy B&Bs, grand hotels and fun casinos. After fishing and hunting in the great outdoors, you can try your luck indoors at L’Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles . Big stars entertain there regularly, so plan your trip accordingly. Add a Day: Don’t go home without exploring the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road , affectionately known as “Louisiana’s Outback.” It’s one of less than 60 designated Scenic Byways in the U.S. and unlike anywhere else on Earth. #OnlyLouisiana @LouisianaTravel 17
