Plan your visit today to experience everything Plaquemines Parish has to offer! This is one boat that you don’t want to miss! Plaquemines Parish...It's catching!

If you’re looking for an exciting Louisiana exploration, look no further than Plaquemines Parish. Just 30 minutes south of New Orleans, Plaquemines Parish is a local secret, prized by the people for its historic attractions and wildlife. Known for its world-class fishing, the people of Plaquemines Parish catch and serve the best seafood in America, and have lived off the land and water for hundred

s of years. Enjoy kayaking in the surrounding marshes or bird watching at the Woodlands Trail & Park Sanctuary. Our history runs as deep as the Mississippi River: LaSalle declared the land “Louisiana” for France near Venice and we have the site of the first Mardi Gras celebration in America. We're home to numerous historic treasures including Fort Jackson built in 1822 at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Visitors in the area are encouraged to relax in the southern comfort of the Woodland Plantation, an exquisitely serene antebellum home now serving as a bed-and-breakfast and restaurant. So hurry down to Plaquemines Parish, and catch the ferry to see the real Louisiana! Plaquemines Parish Tourism and "It's Catching" Comment Policy:
