Louisiana is known as Sportsman’s Paradise for a reason, and Baton Rouge is no exception. Though surprisingly metropolitan, Louisiana’s Capital City offers hiking trails, wildlife, botanic gardens and the mighty Mississippi River.
Outdoor recreation, festivals and sports dominate the culture while restaurant and bar patios are seldom empty in the spring and autumn.
Take in the view of the city along the Mississippi River as part of Baton Rouge’s newest attraction, Baton Rouge Cruises. The experience offers cocktail cruises, dinner cruises, sightseeing and brunch cruises on specific days.
There is also a walking path along the levee of the river for those who prefer the land. Take a stroll and walk down the steps to the river to dip your toes in or have a picnic.
Explore the best of south Louisiana’s natural landscape at one of Baton Rouge’s 180+ public parks, Burden Museum & Gardens or BREC’s Bluebonnet Swamp.
Try your hand at golf or pickleball, which have courses and courts available for use year-round.
And for those looking for a slower pace, Baton Rouge patios are perfect for sipping a cocktail and basking in the warm weather of the South.
Baton Rouge is your outdoor escape to explore.
