About Lake Fausse Pointe State Park

Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is a Louisiana state park located on the western edge of the Atchafalaya Basin, roughly 18 miles east of St. Martinville. The park covers approximately 6,000 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, bald cypress swamp, and open water along a former channel of the Mississippi River. Once home to the Chitimacha people and later used by Acadian settlers, the area preserves a classic south Louisiana wetland landscape of moss-draped cypress and tupelo. Visitors come to paddle the bayous, fish for bass and bream, hike shaded nature trails, and spot alligators, wading birds, and migratory waterfowl. Facilities include improved campsites with water and electric hookups, waterfront cabins on stilts, a visitor center, group pavilions, and boat launches that open onto the lake and surrounding canal system. The park is a popular base for exploring Cajun Country, New Iberia, Lafayette, and the wider Atchafalaya Basin.

Best time to visit Lake Fausse Pointe State Park

October through April is the most comfortable window for RV travel, with mild temperatures, lower humidity, and far less mosquito activity than summer. Spring brings blooming wildflowers and active birdlife, while fall offers cooler paddling weather and colorful cypress foliage. Summer visits are possible but bring high heat, humidity, and heavy insect pressure, so plan for early-morning activities. Winter is usually mild and quiet, making it a strong shoulder season for snowbirds.

Things to do at Lake Fausse Pointe State Park

Paddle the cypress swamp and canals Easy
RV parking available
Kayaking and canoeing are the signature activities at Lake Fausse Pointe, with routes through moss-draped bald cypress and tupelo forest. The park has boat and canoe launches suitable for small watercraft, and paddlers can explore sheltered canals or head out to open water. Alligators, herons, egrets, and osprey are commonly seen.
Hike the park nature trails Easy
RV parking available
Several short interpretive and nature trails loop through bottomland hardwood forest near the campground and visitor center. Trails are generally flat and shaded, making them suitable for most ability levels. Expect boardwalks over wet areas and strong insect activity in warm months.
Freshwater fishing Easy
RV parking available
The lake and surrounding canals are known for largemouth bass, bream, crappie, and catfish. Anglers can fish from the bank, piers, or small boats launched from the park ramp. A Louisiana fishing license is required for anyone age 16 and older.
Wildlife and bird watching Easy
RV parking available
The park is a prime spot for observing Atchafalaya Basin wildlife. Common sightings include alligators, turtles, wading birds, woodpeckers, and seasonal migratory waterfowl. Early morning and late afternoon from waterfront cabins, piers, or a kayak offer the best viewing.
Visit the park visitor center Easy
RV parking available
The visitor center offers exhibits on the natural history of the Atchafalaya Basin and the cultural heritage of the Chitimacha and Acadian peoples who shaped the region. It is a useful first stop for maps, paddling advice, and ranger-led programming when available. Parking is generally RV-friendly.
Day trip to St. Martinville and Cajun Country Easy
The historic town of St. Martinville lies about 18 miles to the west and is a gateway to Acadian culture, including the Longfellow-Evangeline State Historic Site. Lafayette adds Cajun and zydeco music venues, Acadian cultural centers, and local cuisine. Leaving the RV at camp and exploring in a tow vehicle is recommended.
Picnic and lakefront relaxation Easy
RV parking available
Day-use picnic areas and pavilions sit along the water with views of the cypress-studded lake. Sites are well-suited for families and group gatherings, with tables, grills, and nearby restrooms. Sunset over the lake is a highlight.

Derek was really easy to work with and very flexible on the pickup and return times. If we need to rent a camper again, I would definitely rent from him again.

How to get to Lake Fausse Pointe State Park

The park sits about 18 miles southeast of St. Martinville and roughly 35 miles from Lafayette, typically a 45 to 60 minute drive on rural two-lane roads. Baton Rouge is about 90 miles east, around two hours by road, and New Orleans is roughly three hours. Access roads include narrow shoulders, low-lying sections prone to flooding after heavy rain, and some single-lane bridges, so large rigs should drive cautiously and check conditions before arrival. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT), with Baton Rouge Metropolitan (BTR) and New Orleans Louis Armstrong (MSY) as larger alternatives.
