Discover Spanish Lake, a breathtaking destination for paddlers. Whether you canoe or kayak through the lake’s expansive 53 acres, there is plenty of natural beauty to observe.

The lake is believed to have been an oxbow of the Mississippi River when it flowed thousands of years ago through what is now the gorgeous Bayou Teche. Its name reflects the same Spanish settlers who have shaped Louisiana’s rich heritage and history.

Learn more about New Iberia’s history at the Bayou Teche Museum, or explore the outdoors even more at the lush Jungle Gardens, where vibrant camellias and azaleas offer bold pops of color.
