Searching for Outdoor Adventure?

Dubbed the "Gateway to the Gulf" and "The End of the Earth" this small town surrounded by water gets its name from the famous Italian city known for its winding waterways. Venice, Louisiana is located on the southeastern tip of Louisiana where the Great River Road ends. Although the road ends, it's the perfect beginning for an outdoor adventure. The unique ecosystem established by the mouth of the Mississippi River opening into the Gulf of Mexico provides plenty of opportunities for visitors to enjoy the wildlife and the beauty of the area.

At only 75 miles south of New Orleans, Venice can be reached in about a 2-hour drive. This quick drive, however, will transport you to true sportsman paradise. Not only do the waters just offshore provide a bounty for deepsea fishing, but inshore fishing, duck hunting, boating, kayaking, and camping are all fantastic opportunities in Venice.

History of Venice

On April 9, 1682, La Salle claimed Louisiana as a French territory here, an area that would become Venice. Just 15 miles upstream in Buras, Louisianna, Fork Jackson can be found. Built in the early 1800's, this pentagon-shaped masonry fort guarded New Orleans.

At sea level (or only a few feet above) and located at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River, Venice's recent history has been written through storms. In 1969, Hurricane Camille, the second most intense storm on record to hit the Continental US, destroyed Venice. Only 36 years later in 2015, Hurricane Katrina, unfortunately, left Venice in devastation. However, Venice continues to remain a vigilant community, rebuilding and recovering from whatever comes. Venice is waiting and ready for you!
