Visit Bayou Segnette State Park for a Family Get Away

June 17, 2026

Have you ever visited Bayou Segnette State Park?  You can visit for a few hours to hike trails, picnic and play on the playground, or rent a cabin overnight! There are also  RV campsite rentals and boat launches.

Bayou Segnette State Park offers the best of everything. Just a thirty-minute drive across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, a multitude of recreational opportunities await visitors of all ages--camping, boating, fishing, canoeing, picnicking, playgrounds and, of course, swimming in the wave pool, as well as an ecosystem that offers you the chance to spot plants, trees and wildlife from both swamps and marshland. If you like to fish, you just might catch bass, catfish, bream, perch, redfish or trout. 

Bayou Segnette has 16 floating cabins, situated on the canal adjacent to Bayou Segnette. They include two bedrooms, a full kitchen, living/dining area, and a screened-in porch overlooking the canal. Aluminum walkways surrounding each cabin provide opportunity for casual fishing, complete with an attached cleaning station. Fees range from $175 - $262.50/night plus tax.
