Get On the Water in the Pelican State
Louisiana is known as the Pelican State, and it is home to some of the biggest waters in the South. The Sabine River Authority of Texas reports that Toledo Bend Reservoir normally covers 185,000 acres and is the largest man-made body of water in the South, shared with Texas. According to the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, the Atchafalaya Basin holds almost one million acres of bottomland hardwoods, swamps, bayous and backwater lakes, and is the nation's largest river swamp.
