Boaters in the state should check out Toledo Bend Reservoir Lake, which boasts 290 square miles of water, as well as The Atchafalaya Basin, a combination of wetlands and river delta area where the Atchafalaya River and the Gulf of Mexico converge. Boaters looking for great water and visit to New Orleans should pay a visit to Lake Pontchatrain, the largest Lake in Louisiana that sits on the north edge of the Big Easy. Lake Pontchatrain is also a key stop in Louisiana for boaters on the Great Loop!
