St. Charles Parish, Louisiana

St. Charles Parish sits along the Mississippi River, about 20 miles west of New Orleans. It’s a place where history and industry collide. Antebellum homes stand alongside massive oil refineries.
The parish is known for its swamps and bayous so kids splash in the river on hot summer days. While Lake Pontchartrain occupies the north, Lake Salvador is in the south.
The Bonnet Carré Spillway has a unique spot for bird watching and fishing when it’s not diverting floodwaters. You’ll mostly find a mix of small-town charm and suburban convenience here.
