Louisiana State Arboretum State Preservation Area
Oldest state arboretum in the U.S., dense mixed hardwood forest, boardwalks, seasonal wildflowers and swampy streams offer intimate nature and landscape scenes. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm light and mist; spring for blooms and migratory birds, fall for foliage. Trails are mostly flat but unpaved; small parking area at the gate, no fee but daylight hours only. Quiet, low-traffic site ideal for close-up plant studies, forest composition, and birding shots.
