Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge

A rugged, natural South Louisiana setting with a shaded trail through cypress, oaks, palmettos and Spanish moss, opening toward freshwater marsh and wetland views. It has a more untamed feel than a manicured park, making it a great option for seniors who want something outdoorsy and distinctly Louisiana.
