This visitor center is large and full of information about the area and surrounding areas. A great place to rest, rejuvinate, and have a cup of coffee on the house. Its great to note that there are live alligators in the safely fenced pond right next door. Have fun seeing if you can spot one.

The Lake Charles Visitor Center is a must stop for anyone passing through the Lake Area. The Center has lots of information about all kinds of tourist sites along 1-10 spanning from New Orleans to East Texas.

Lake Charles Visitor Center is wonderful. When we visited the area, trying to find the best golf courses, they were excellent.

If you continue on the service road, you go to the oldest cemetary in LC, LA and then only the war memorial and then to the park and a marina area. It... More

Lake Charles, unlike many cities I have visited have very few hotels that accept discount coupons. Brochures were available for Louisiana attractions.
