The one thing I can say about the good folks down in Lake Charles, Louisiana is that they know how to do parks right. I have traveled all over the Pelican State and the best parks that I have seen are located on the shores of Prien Lake, Indian Bay and Lake Charles.
Prien Lake Park has well maintained walking trails, a splash pad for the kids and a majestic view of Indian Bay.
On this day I ventured out onto a natural outcropping that extends into the bay for these photos. This vantage point provides an unobstructed view of the lake, 210 freeway bridge and the shoreline casinos.
From the City of Lake Charles:
Prien Lake Park overlooks Indian Bay on the eastern shore of Prien Lake, a waterway where 19th century schooners once sailed. Visitors to the park can enjoy a haven of trees, grass, flowers, fountains, and streams, with a sweeping view of Prien Lake the I-210 bridge and magnificent sunsets over the water.
With pavilions, picnic areas, playground, "spraygound" and walking trail, Prien Lake Park offers recreation and relaxation to all ages. This jewel of a park, where lake breezes brush the landscape and ripple the waves of Prien Lake, belongs to everyone in Calcasieu Parish.
29-acre park on Prien Lake featuring walking paths with measurement markings, canoe and boat launches, kids playground and SprayGround water park, numerous picnic areas, Amphitheater, two pavilions and free Wi-Fi.
