The lowlands and bayous surrounding Lake Charles along the Creole Scenic Byway are full of egrets, herons and alligators. Fishermen and fishing boats by the dozen normally cram every waterway searching for crawdads, bass and other tasty critters. The farther south you go the more salt water you get from the Gulf of Mexico. Somewhere in between is a rough boundary of differing plant and animal life.
