Spread across an area of approximately 630 square miles, this second largest inland saltwater body is technically not a lake but an estuary. Fish species found at the lake include speckled trout, white trout, sheepshead, and redfish, along with about 120 more varieties. It offers a lot of recreational activities for the people of New Orleans.

In 2010, the lake suffered adversely due to devastating hurricane, causing damage to the surrounding region. Still this lake is considered as basic source for sustainability and economic development for New Orleans. Pay a visit to this remarkable lake to enjoy its serene beauty.
