Louisiana may be known for its bayous, ports and place along the Gulf of Mexico, but there are several lakes around the state worth checking out. One city in Louisiana was even chosen as one of the best lake towns in the country to live in.
Stacker used 2020 data from WalletHub to determine the 46 best U.S. lake towns to live in, evaluating each on six factors: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. While Wisconsin had the most towns on the list with eight, one in the Pelican State made the cut.
