点评:Barataria Preserve is 1 of 6 sites in Jean Lafitte’s National Historical Park & Preserve.
1) French Quarter Visitors Center
2) Chalmette Battlefield and Cemetery
3) Barataria Preserve
4) Acadian Cultural Center - we did not visit
5) Prairie Acadian Cultural Center - closed temporarily
6) Wetlands Acadian - we did not visit
It is a 30 min drive from the French Quarter Visitor’s Center. Plan for 30 mins ++ depending on how much hiking you want to do. (We’re from Florida so we weren’t all that interested in trying to spot a gator since we see them quite alot as is.)
WARNING - gps may take you to Jean Lafitte Swamp Tours. What’s really misleading is there is a sign for the preserve right in front of this business on the road. We had to call to get the address. Good news was, we were only 5 mins away. The correct address is- 6588 Barataria Blvd.
We only had time to hike one trail close to the visitors center but we found the boardwalk to be in mild disrepair and about 40% of the trails were closed due to hurricane damage from a year plus ago. We heard lots of animal noises but only saw a locust. The visitors center has minimal displays.

1) 法国区游客中心
2) 查尔梅特战场和公墓
3) Barataria 保护区
4) 阿卡迪亚文化中心 - 我们没有参观
5) 草原阿卡迪亚文化中心 - 暂时关闭
6) 湿地阿卡迪亚 - 我们没有参观
距离法国区游客中心 30 分钟车程。计划 30 分钟 ++,具体取决于您想要进行多少徒步旅行。(我们来自佛罗里达州,所以我们对寻找鳄鱼并不感兴趣,因为我们经常看到它们。)
警告 - GPS 可能会带您前往 Jean Lafitte 沼泽之旅。真正具有误导性的是,在路上这家商店的正前方有一个保护区的标志。我们不得不打电话询问地址。好消息是,我们只有 5 分钟的路程。正确的地址是 - 6588 Barataria Blvd。
我们只有时间徒步走过游客中心附近的一条小径,但我们发现木板路有些年久失修,大约 40% 的小径因一年多前的飓风破坏而关闭。我们听到了很多动物的声音,但只看到了一只蝗虫。游客中心的展览很少。
