Mississippi Riverfront

It's all here on the river.

No river in America is as culturally, historically, and economically significant as the Mississippi. In Baton Rouge, visitors and residents are able to take advantage of the city’s proximity to this famous waterway and partake in a wide variety of activities including biking, walking, sightseeing, and relaxing. Attractions such as the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, USS KIDD, North Boulevard Town Square, and the River Center, are all within sight from one of North America’s most important rivers.
