Why not take a vacation in the super state of the south Louisiana. It can be a great place for a vacation. You can enjoy the culture and the history of the state. You can also enjoy the great city of New Orleans.

The State of Louisiana is a state located in the southern region of the United States of America. The capital of Louisiana is Baton Rouge. The largest city and metropolitan area is New Orleans.

Louisiana has a humid subtropical climate ( Koppen climate classification Cfa ), perhaps the most "classic" example of a humid subtropical climate of all the Southeastern states, with long, hot, humid summers and short, mild winters. The subtropical characteristics of the state are due in large part to the influence of the Gulf of Mexico, which even at its farthest point is no more than 200 miles away. Precipitation is frequent throughout the year, although the summer is slightly wetter than the rest of the year.

Louisiana is home to many, especially notable are the distinct culture of the Creoles and Cajuns.

The state is bordered to the west by the state of Texas ; to the north by Arkansas; to the east by the state of Mississippi; and to the south by the Gulf of Mexico.

The surface of the state may properly be divided into two parts, the uplands and the alluvial, including coast and swamp regions. The alluvial regions, including the low swamps and coast lands, cover an area of about 20,000 square miles. They lie principally along the Mississippi River, which traverses the state from north to south for a distance of about 600 miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico; the Red River; the Ouachita River and its branches; and other minor streams. The breadth of the alluvial region along the Mississippi is from 10 to 60 miles, and along the other rivers, it averages about 10 miles across. The Mississippi River flows upon a ridge formed by its own deposits, from which the lands decline toward the low swamps beyond at an average fall of six feet per mile. The alluvial lands along other streams present similar features.

The higher lands and contiguous hill lands of the north and northwestern part of the state have an area of more than 25,000 square miles. They consist of prairie and woodlands. The elevations above sea level range from 10 feet at the coast and swamp lands to 50 and 60 feet at the prairie and alluvial lands. In the uplands and hills, the elevations rise to Driskill Mountain, the highest point in the state at only 535 feet above sea level. Only two other states in the union, Florida and Delaware, are geographically lower than Louisiana. Several other states, such as Kansas and Nebraska, are geographically flatter.

Besides the navigable rivers already named (some of which are called bayous), there are the Sabine ( Sah-BEAN ), forming the western boundary; and the Pearl, the eastern boundary; the Calcasieu ( KAL-cah-shoe ), the Mermentau, the Vermilion, the Teche, the Atchafalaya, the Boeuf ( beff ), the Lafourche ( Luff-OOSH ), the Courtableau, the D'Arbonne, the Macon, the Tensas ( TEN-saw ), the Amite, the Tchefuncte ( CHA-Funk-ta ), the Tickfaw, the Natalbany, and a number of other streams of lesser note, constituting a natural system of navigable waterways, aggregating over 4,000 miles in length. These waterways are unequaled in any other state of the nation. The state also has 1,060 square miles of land locked bays; 1,700 square miles of inland lakes; and a river surface of over 500 square miles.
