Some of the Louisiana parks participated in the First Day Hike program, and Palmetto Island State Park was one of them.

A hiking companion and I, and her kiddos, were the only ones to do go on the park's First Day Hike. (It was a little rainy today.)

I saw my first feral pigs. Smaller than I expected, but these were the sows, their little 'uns, and adolescents. I guess the boars can get pretty large (100-400 pounds) with tusks. The boars are loner types. The sows and young ones form groups called "sounders."
Pleasant Road, which leads to the park from State Road 82, has a stretch of swamp that's very pretty.
Did you notice the pretty yellow flowers? In January!

There's a guided canoe trip at the park on the first Sunday of every month. I signed up for the next one.
