Interesting Lake Charles State Park

 We arrived yesterday in the rain, so we didn't see much of the park.  Today we took  our time and took a tour around the park. 

This park is full of Bayou and swamp land and many types of wild life.   I even saw a bright Red Cardinal flitting past me, but much to quick to get a picture. 

As we stepped out of the trailer this morning with Sea-enna there were these deer, they just looked up at us, then went on with what they were doing, completely un-fazed and oblivious to us. 

At the boat launch we found these slightly un-nerving signs. 

This is wild life I don't want to run into. 

Also this sign on a tree in the Bayou. 

And on the river we found this boat and just had to have a look.  She's about the size of the Thunderbird, but very narrow and just a bare empty boat.  

There are lots of hiking trails, and when I saw this bridge over the Bayou I wondered how high gator could jump up out of the water. 

It's a really nice campground and well maintained. 








 



I certainly wouldn't want my children playing on this play structure after seeing the alligator warning for that river right behind it. 

They have cabins for rent as well and this nice nature center.  So that is what we saw today.  It's been a nice stop and we are having a good time. 

Tomorrow we are moving on to Fousse Pointe State Park, and will do a critique of that park as well.
