Louisiana is not known for its blue waters, since the Mississippi River Delta often muddies rivers and bayous throughout the state. But there are some exceptions—and Toledo Bend is, in our opinion, the most beautiful one. Let’s explore:

Toledo Bend is so gorgeous, there are actually two Louisiana state parks on the reservoir.
