This tour was one of the highlights of our Southern road trip through 7 states. Swamp Tours of Arcadiana represents an incredible value, especially if you are traveling as a family. For the same price as one of the large tourist boats, we received a private tour, tailored just for our family. Lake Martin is gorgeous, especially at twilight and we saw no other tourists the entire time, only locals. We felt like much more than a simple swamp tour, we really experienced nature and learned much about local culture. Booking with Ashley was easy, she was very flexible concerning dates and times. I would recommend contacting her by facebook messenger, we got a quick response that way. Ashley gave us precise directions to our alternate meeting point, since the regular boat launch was closed due to covid. We had no problems finding the place and our car was parked safely off the road. Bryce, Ashley's husband, met us on time. Bryce is so friendly, he made us feel welcome and comfortable right away. His boat is small but feels indestructible. We felt safe with him the entire time. Our tour lasted for more than 2 hours and took us all around Lake Martin, through the swamp and past fields of water lilies. We learned so much about the local plants and animals and saw many beautiful birds and lots of alligators. Including an 8 foot alligator that surfaced right next to our boat! Bryce has lived in the area his whole life and knows all of the fascinating corners of the lake. So many great photo opportunities! Besides birds and alligators, we saw fish rise out of the water, drove into a duck blind and experienced the largest spider webs imaginable. We experienced the most beautiful sunset. Bryce also told us many stories about living in Southern Louisiana and we came away from the experience feeling like we had made a friend. We also learned that you can eat just about everything that you see! He had a great way of relating to our teenage daughters and even introduced them to some of the local teenage boys that we came across fishing on the lake. We just had so much fun! Again, I can't recommend this tour enough, you will love it!

There seems to have been a lot of infrastructure improvements over recent years, there are very nice concrete RV Sites with full hookup, the entrance road into the park is a little rough requiring you to mostly travel at idle speeds. There is a large boat launch and parking lot located before you get to the park's entrance so the traffic pattern inside the park is free of boat trailers and tow vehicles. There are plenty of covered pavilions for picnicking and getting out of the sun as well as a nice concrete area at the end of the park designed for fishing and crabbing and it seemed like a lot of the visitors were here for that. There was absolutely no cellular service on most of the drive in and inside the park so plan ahead, maybe your service provider will have better results. I also recommend you fuel up before coming here I did not see any convenient stores or fueling options along the 18 mile drive once we took the exit off LA90. It's a beautiful setting and seems to be a popular area for boating, fishing and camping with a Louisiana vibe...
