The 7 Best Nature & Parks in Lafayette, Louisiana (LA)
Founded by the Acadians in the 19th century, the legacy of Louisiana's French, Spanish and Caribbean ancestors comes together in Lafayette, creating a city with, amongst other things, a vast selection of restaurants serving everything from spicy po'boys to crawfish etouffee. With its lively street festivals, impromptu Zydeco concerts, historic plantations and food markets where locals still order their plate lunches in Louisiana French, Lafayette is the heart of Cajun country.

April is the month to go to view the colorful Irises. We saw the blue, purple, yellow, white and 1 rust color. The white birds were nestled far back into the rookery. You can ride on the gravel road both right and left. The boat landing is closed, but there is a place to let down boats and kayaks. The flowers are past the boat landing on the left side a lone home is on the right. You have to turn around or park your car and walk around the lake. But NOT during alligator mating season. We did see a medium size alligator not in the lake but across the road in the ditch! It is a gravel road and does have many deep ruts, I don't recommend going when it has rained a lot. It is my peaceful place to go for a drive and enjoy the scenery

My husband and I were looking for a place for an afternoon walk while on a mini-vacation in Lafayette. I read the reviews for this park but wasn't really sure what to expect. We were so surprised when we arrived. The nature walk is absolutely beautiful. It is secluded yet you are in the middle of town. The entire walkway is built over the marsh and you get to enjoy the beautiful foliage and also have access to the river in different locations. It really is something to see. We walked a total of 2 miles but you have different options as far as the distance you choose. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area.

It is an old and historic park located near the University. It has a 1.25 mile walking trail which I use frequently. Pond with ducks and geese. Great place.
