University Lake is one of six lakes on the LSU campus. It is a popular spot for various recreation activities such as walking, jogging, and cycling.

This is a big, important park with lots to do for everyone. One of its main features is a large lake. The park also has a 9-hole golf course that's quite old, built in 1926, and is known for its pretty scenery and rolling hills.

The Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge, west of Baton Rouge, lies in the heart of North America's largest wetland. White-tailed deer, herons, river otters, and even alligators live among mighty cypress trees, flooded depressions, and quiet bayous, warming themselves on sunny banks or gliding silently through the water. Over 200 species of birds can be observed here. The natural dynamics of the water—flooding in spring, retreating in summer—make the area a biodiverse habitat and a popular destination for anglers, hunters, and nature observers. The best way to explore the nature reserve is on an airboat tour.

Sam Houston Jones State Park spans 1,087 acres at the confluence of the Houston River, the Calcasieu River, and the Indian Bayou. It features lagoons dotted with bald cypress trees, diverse wildlife, and excellent opportunities for boating, kayaking, and bird-watching among its longleaf pines—some of the oldest in the south. The park includes three hiking trails, including the historic Old Stagecoach Road, which is ideal for short or extended hikes. There is ample parking, restrooms, and drinking water, with an entry fee of $3 to visit one of Louisiana's most beautiful public parks.

The Sabine National Wildlife Refuge is a habitat for various wildlife species, including ducks, geese, alligators, nesting birds, butterflies, and migrant songbirds. The refuge features two observation trails: one in this location in a freshwater impoundment and another just north on State Highway 27 in a coastal brackish marsh. Here, the Wetland Walkway is a peaceful one-and-a-half-mile boardwalk trail, where you'll see abundant wildlife and have an opportunity to capture some great photos. There is a raised observation tower offering stunning views, especially at sunset. It's a fantastic place to immerse yourself in nature in a peaceful environment.

Bayou Metairie was created when the Mississippi River shifted 2,600 years ago, and now it's the centerpiece of a city park. There are a number of bridges, benches, and lookouts that are meant for viewing the bayou. The trails in and around the wetlands are great for jogging.

Fontainebleau Pier stretches out into Lake Pontchartrain. The pier is an especially great place to be at sunset and sunrise.

Lake Martin is home to a diverse ecosystem of different species of birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The swamp can be enjoyed from a distance via a walking/jogging trail that circles around the entire body of water.
