The exciting, open-water Cypremort Point Paddling Trail No. 1 is for the adventurous, seasoned paddler. Novice paddlers looking to fish or explore Louisiana’s coastal areas may enjoy the lakes, canals and bayous near Cypremort Point State Park.

Between Grand Isle and Cameron, Cypremort Point is the only coastal area reachable by car. The site contains an abundance of wildlife, from nutria, muskrats and alligators to many bird species. Deer, black bear, rabbits, opossum and red fox also make their home in this area.

After a few hours adventuring the nearby waterways, stop by the half-mile stretch of sandy, beach. It’s perfect for relaxing, picnicking, fishing, crabbing, waterskiing, sailing and, if you stay long enough, witnessing the vibrant pinks and flaming oranges at sunset.

Extend your stay with a night at one of the state park’s six deluxe cabins or 20 premium campsites. You’ll love sleeping close to nature and waking up to a serenade of bird calls.

Later, discover the sights and flavors of southern Louisiana. Tour Jefferson Island in New Iberia and witness semi-tropical gardens, jewel-toned peacocks and a historic mansion at the Rip Van Winkle Gardens. Go for a swamp tour to spot gators and other Louisiana critters in nearby Patterson or Morgan City. Or sample the iconic, spicy hot sauce at a Tabasco Factory Tour.
