About St. Bernard State Park

Roughly eighteen miles southeast of New Orleans, this park occupies a tract of land in the parish that lies between the towns of Poydras and Caernarvon. Despite that closeness to the city, it has drawn fewer visitors than most other parks in the state, ranking among the least attended for years.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
