Louisiana has a population of over 4,523,000 with it's largest city being New Orleans.
The state has become a popular tourist destination. New Orleans is the major draw, known particularly for its picturesque French Quarter and the annual Mardi Gras celebration, held since 1838.
Other major points of interest include the Superdome in New Orleans, historic plantation homes near Natchitoches and New Iberia, Cajun country in the Mississippi Delta Region, Chalmette National Historic Park, and the state capital at Baton Rouge.
On Aug. 29, 2005, Louisiana was hit by Hurricane Katrina, devastating New Orleans, and killing hundreds elsewhere in the state, particularly in the parishes of Jefferson and St. Bernard. Federal and local officials were widely criticized for their slow and inadequate response to the initial disaster and subsequent recovery programs.
Fishing is great in Louisiana, with so many rivers, lakes and streams to chose from the choices are unlimited.
Do you remember your first fishing or boating trip? Ask anyone to tell the story of who first took them boating or fishing - chances are good the story is deeply personal and meaningful.
Over a dozen studies have shown that being with family and friends, relaxing and being outdoors and close to nature are the primary reasons people spend time on the water, and you can't do any better than fishing in Louisiana.
Louisiana also has some of the best bird and game hunting in the country. From ducks, geese and pheasant to deer, boar and bear hunting in Louisiana is a tradition.
Hundreds of thousands of hunters each year take to the wild seeking a trophy and filling their freezer with meat for the winter.
Birding is the fastest-growing outdoor activity in America. In a recent study by the U.S. Department of the Interior, appreciation of birds ranks second behind gardening as America's favorite pastime.
Birds add a fascinating dimension to our surroundings with their color, liveliness, and music. Because they are wild creatures, they bring an element of nature into our lives.
In Louisiana we have over 300 species of birds, perhaps this is why every year millions of Americans come to Louisiana to watch and take pictures of the birds and wildlife in our wonderful state.
Come and enjoy the great outdoors that Louisiana has to offer.
