Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is located in Iberia Parish, Louisiana and St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, USA. It is located about east of St. Martinville adjacent to the Atchafalaya Basin. The park is in size and was once the home of the Chitimacha Indians. ==Features== Lake Fausse Pointe State Park offers a boat launch, playground, splash park, picnic area and pavilions, restrooms, nature trails and canoe trails. Overnight facilities include primitive hike-to and canoe-to campsites, 50 RV campsites, and 18 furnished cabins (10 facing a cove, 8 facing a swamp). The park is home to a number of wild animal species, including whitetail deer, raccoons, black bears, cottonmouth snakes (''Agkistrodon piscivorus''), armadillos, alligators and bobcats. An interpretive center provides information and exhibits specific to the plants and animals found in the park. Also at the interpretive center is a boat launch and dock for canoes and other small boats. Dock typically houses rental boats, but generally will have space for canoe campers looking for a place to load up and ship out. All canoe campsite distances shown below are distances from the interpretive center. There are three hiking trails that also allow biking: *Trail A, ''Armadillo Ridge'', is and takes about 15 minutes to hike. This hike is "easy strolling". *Trail B, ''Cardinal Run'', is and includes a scenic overlook onto Lake Fausse Pointe. It takes about 30 minutes to hike and has a footbridge along a slough and swamp. *Trail C, ''Barred Owl Trek'', is and follows the perimeter of the park. It takes about 2–2.5 hours to hike or 30 minutes to bicycle. This trail has many footbridges over the wettest areas. There are also numerous canoe trails which follow well marked waterways and include access to several primitive canoe only campsites. In 1999, the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism named the main road and conference center at the park in honor of the late State Representative Bo Ackal of New Iberia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Public Servant Elias "Bo" Ackal, Jr., Succumbs to Cancer )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lake Fausse Pointe State Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
