The Center offers a boardwalk through a woodland-pond area, a bird blind, walking trails, a late 1800s farm site, pontoon boat tours and guided canoe tours. Three ecosystems with over 2,500 acres of bayou, forest and prairie are refuge for more than 360 species of animals and birds. Reservations required for boat tours and canoe trips.
