Recreation

The incredible natural beauty of Assumption Parish is unmistakable.  It's sits at the gateway to the 800,000-acre Atchafalaya Basin, one of the largest and most picturesque natural estuaries in the world.  Water sports, fishing, hunting, birding, and nature walks are all steps away as are many parks and public facilities. Visit the Fishing and Hunting page as well as the Outdoor Recreation page for detailed information about those specific activities.
