Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana

Plaquemines Parish sits at the southeastern tip of Louisiana. It’s where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico.
This long, narrow stretch of land is a paradise for hikers. Fishing is king here so anglers come here for its world-class catches. But it’s not all about the water though.
The area’s rich history includes pirate legends and Civil War battles. Citrus groves are everywhere, producing sweet oranges and juicy satsumas.
