Description
This is a color image created with a lensbaby lens of the Alligator Bayou Bar in Ascension Parish, LA, cropped square. This is also available in black & white. The business is no longer open.
One of Baton Rouges favorite tourist attractions in the 2000s was Alligator Bayou Swamp Tours. Visitors could take a flat-bottom boat tour through mossy swamps and actually see a gator or two along the way. The adjacent Gator Bar was another popular spot, where LSU sororities and fraternities held crawfish boils on warm spring nights. Both now sit dormant, however, as the bayou was effectively drained when the governments of Ascension and Iberville parishes opened the floodgates between Alligator Bayou and Bayou Manchac.
