Discover Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge RV rentals for memorable road trips

Louisiana is often associated with swamps and swampland forest, and a difficult place to enjoy activities that don't require a boat; the good news is that there is more to this iconic state. A popular tourist attraction that demonstrates this is Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge; it has a significant amount of marsh, but beyond the swamp, you will find offshore grass beds, hardwood tree stands, and areas dominated by pine flatwood. The wetlands are not freshwater bodies but have less salt than the Gulf of Mexico; they play an important role in preventing soil erosion by sustaining the grass beds.

Getting Outdoors

Book an RV in Saint Tammany Parish, and you are all set to begin your vacation in the heart of Louisiana. The activity that attracts the most recognition here is obviously fishing; you can enjoy it from the shoreline by standing on the banks, wading into the water, or fishing from one of the refuge's piers. There is a boat launch so you can slowly troll for your catch, but the refuge also provides opportunities to enjoy crawfishing and crabbing. The mixture of salinity that increases and decreases between areas, further aided by the wind, means you can try catching both freshwater and saltwater fish species such as bass, speckled trout, catfish, and much more. Bring your catch straight from the river to your RV rental's fridge, and you can store it without worry until you're ready to start preparing the evening's meal.

Exploring the Area

When you're ready to check out some city sights during your Lacombe motorhome rental vacation, there are a few spots to consider. Covington is a small, friendly town with a reasonable amount of attractions to visit, such as an alligator ranch and hatchery. The tours here are very informative and hands-on; you can hold and pet the smaller baby alligators. There are several museums you can visit, outlets for shopping for antiques and souvenirs, and a brewhouse that sells its own product on tap or in six-packs. If you decide to visit here for some relaxation, they have sporting events or music videos on an overhead TV. Covington has a good selection of restaurants to choose from with a variety of cuisines, including Mexican, Creole, and Asian, in addition to some American-style menus. Prices are reasonable, and many of the restaurants are individually owned and operated.
