An All-American Road is a super special National Scenic Byway. Above and beyond meeting the strict standards for becoming a National Scenic Byway, an All-American Road must be the reason for visitation—a destination unto its self.

The Creole Nature Trail meets the All-American Road criteria through its unique, intrinsic combination of natural, cultural, historical, recreational, scenic and archaeological qualities. And Louisiana’s coastal wetlands along the Creole Nature Trail are a national treasure whose value reaches far beyond their natural beauty. Louisiana’s wetlands represent an estimated annual economic value in excess of $40 billion, and contribute either directly or indirectly to the lives of everyone in the United States.

One of America's last untamed wilderness areas, the Creole Nature Trail must be preserved—for the future, for our children and grandchildren. If you would like to get involved, please see the Friends of the Creole Nature Trail section of this site.
