When the temperatures start rising, you’ve got to find ways to stay cool. Especially in Louisiana. Luckily, we have plenty of waterways to splash around in, including White Sands Lake. This pocket of paradise is tucked away in Franklinton, but you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to the tropics.

Whether you have the whole family in tow or you’re looking for a solo adventure, White Sands Lake is an ideal destination for summer fun in Louisiana.

You can bring your own gear and park it in the sand, or you can reserve a cabana.

Each cabana includes tables and charcoal grills. We all know that burgers and beaches were meant to be together, so go ahead and bring all the fixings for a cook-out!

The lake features several inflatable toys that will bring out the inner kid in you.

There are often local food trucks parked at the lake, but you can always get a tasty snoball to cool you down after a long day of fun in the sun.
