Outdoors
Iberville Parish is the 'natural' choice for recreational and outdoor activities. Whether you're an adventurer, golfer or simply seeking relaxation in nature, you'll find endless opportunities to explore.
Get Started
Iberville serves as a gateway to the Atchafalaya Basin, an 800,000-acre swamp often referred to as the “South’s last wilderness.” This rich ecosystem is home to over 85 species of fish, 200 species of birds, alligators, black bears, and other wildlife. The waterways reveal much about our parish’s history and lifestyle, providing a natural playground for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy fishing, boating, birding, or paddling.
Our parish is split by the mighty Mississippi River, offering numerous opportunities to connect with our unique waterways. Catch a ride on the ferry across the Mississippi, enjoy a picnic at the award-winning Bayou Plaquemine Waterfront Park, book a swamp tour of the Basin, drop a fishing line off one of our many bayou banks, or navigate the waters yourself using one of our numerous boat or paddle launches. If you prefer biking to paddling, then grab your gear and explore the parish on two wheels following one of our local bike trails. Birders and wildlife enthusiasts are sure to spot an array of picture-worthy species at Sherburne WMA or one of our local parks. Speaking of ‘birdies,’ The Island Golf Course provides a challenging round of golf and is part of Louisiana’s Audubon Golf Trail.
