Bird Watching In Southwest Louisiana Ranks Among Top 10 In Nation

Birding enthusiasts who visit Grosse Savanne Lodge will have the opportunity to experience why others have proclaimed Southwest Louisiana to be one of the top 10 birding spots in the United States. As many as half of all land birds that breed in eastern North America are believed to pass through the area twice each year, and waterfowl appear to be just as dependent on the region's resources.

In addition to overlapping both the Central and Mississippi Flyways, Grosse Savanne's 50,000 acres of privately managed marshes and prairies are located only a wingspan from the Gulf Coast beaches. The lodge, which is located just off the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road, is also within driving distance of boundless other birding opportunities, including three national wildlife refuges, a state wildlife refuge, a bird and butterfly sanctuary, and our very own 200 acre cypress swampland rookery, which nests thousands of herons, egrets, grosbeaks, ibis, and Roseate Spoonbill.

Grosse Savanne offers transportation to several of these locations for nature lovers to view many varieties of waterfowl, shore birds, wading birds, and many other wildlife species. In addition, boat tours are offered in our own private marshes or you may choose to take a leisurely walk around our private bass pond and along the woods adjacent to our lodge.

We invite you to join us this season for your choice of tours.
