It’s a sportsman’s paradise. Forget shoveling
snow. You can enjoy the outdoors everyday in Lake
Charles. There’s always something to do.
 There
are numerous wildlife refuges and nature conservancy
opportunities. From Lake Charles to the Creole
Nature Trail, an All American Road winding 180 miles
through bayous, marshland and along the shores of
the Gulf of Mexico, is considered on of the top
birding spots in the United States.
Lake Charles is the largest city in close proximity
to some of the best fowl and deer hunting in the
nation. Sam Houston Jones State Park, just northwest
of Lake Charles, provides a  warm, green, gentle
back drop for a morning walk or weekend campout.
Picture
yourself in Southwest Louisiana. It’s the perfect
place for your next family photo. Whether you’re
squaring up for the shot of your grandchild’s first
fish or showing off your prize roses.
Can you picture yourself here?
