Louisiana’s waterfalls occur where small upland streams drop over modest bluffs, sandstone ledges, and river terraces in the northern and central parts of the state, interrupting the otherwise low-lying coastal plain of bayous, marshes and estuaries. Hikes to these falls are generally short, easy, family-friendly walks or roadside trailheads rather than remote backcountry treks. The state’s distinctive character is the rarity and small scale of its cascades, encountered in wooded river valleys and subtropical wetland margins rather than high-elevation ranges.
