List of Louisiana state parks

[2] In 1952, legislation broadened the role of the commission to include the development of outdoor recreation programs and resources.

Some of these parks include Lac des Allemands, Saline Bayou, and Black Lake.

[2] Louisiana state parks are selected on the criteria that they must be natural areas of unique or exceptional scenic value.

For example, Chemin-A-Haut State Park served as a route used by Native Americans during seasonal migrations.

[5] Louisiana state parks have many accommodations, including overnight cabins, boating rentals, guided daily tours, and fishing piers.
