Traveler advice
Getting around
The car is the quickest; however, this area is walkable.
Do not go west of Highland Road by feet at night. This area is known for muggings and crime.
What to pack
Mosquito spray is always a must
Louisiana is a swamp! Don't forget to pack spray or the mosquitoes will get a free lunch from you!
