West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana
West Baton Rouge Parish sits right across the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s capital city. The parish has a rich history, dating back to the early 1800s.
Sugar plantations dominated the landscape. These days, it’s a bit of a bedroom community for Baton Rouge, but it’s got its own personality.
The river is a big part of life here. Fishing, boating, and watching the massive ships go by are popular pastimes. If you’re into nature, check out the levee bike path for some great views.
