We’ve all had those fantasies of packing our bags and getting away from it all for a day or two. When the urge to skedaddle strikes, don’t fret about booking a plane ticket or learning the lay of the land in a new place… take a getaway right in your own backyard! Louisiana has 21 state parks, and Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is one of the largest and most stunning in the state. If you want to check out for a few days, this is the place.
