Visiting Morgan City

By the time the sun rises in Morgan City, the angler catching your dinner has been up for a while. But you’re on vacation, so your only job is to sleep in and slowly come to life over a steamy cup of coffee in the 19-block historic district. Once the sleep is out of your eyes, it’s all aboard a Cajun Jack’s Swamp Tour. The Atchafalaya Basin and its bounty of wildlife, including gators and birds, is a rousing place to carve your way through still waters while a captain regales you with local history. You can also climb into a kayak in the basin, slithering through the water at the pace of one of the reptiles you just may encounter.

After your day in the life of a Crocodile Hunter, make quick work of your trip to Morgan City Main Street. The plates of catfish and cornbread here are the stuff of legends, and an after-dinner walk past historic churches and homes will have you imagining yourself in a sleepy rom-com movie. Hotels in Morgan City, LA are just as charming as you’d expect.
