I was not sure what to expect since this was my 1st small craft guided fishing tournament. When it…read morecomes to trying out new things I go in with a prepare to be dissapointed mindset so anything that does work out is enjoyed more. That being said I had a blast my team won 2nd place. The fishing guides are awesome. The cabins are nice, the nights are cool and breezy. Now for the bad... for dinner I ate the shrimp pasta Alfredo and my stomach got pissed! I became so bloated I was in pain. I don't know what happened but I couldn't sleep that night. The morning after we ate breakfast at 5:30 am eggs bacon and a biscuit with juice or coffee was not bad but not that impressive it was okay. The only thing I do have to say is where are the hammocks not one hammock ? This place would be awesome at night if they had hammocks Hanging from the structure stilts

We have been to Hackberry 3 times and my husband absolutely loves it. He brings his own rods and…read moresuch. The guides do their best and use all their skill to put you on the fish. They are friendly and easygoing. Weather and conditions are uncontrollable of course. Once we went when the weather was pretty bad and the guide was honest enough to say "I'll go if you want but it's gonna be a hard day of fishing in these conditions. We were only asked to pay for food and lodging that time. Oh- They also filet your catch for you at the end of your tour. The food they serve is amazing and the service is wonderful If you are an angler of any caliber this is right up your alley. They host businesses and have a "night boat" that goes out overnight- but I haven't done that.

Can't wait to go back again. Our captain was AMAZING! We never had to ask for anything since he…read morewas in the middle of the boat tending to everything. The trolling motor was remote controlled so he was able to allow us to fish out of the front or the back without someone in the way. We never touched the live shrimp. (He said there was no point in all of us getting smelly.) We never had a chance to get the fish off the hook. He was on the spot and had it taken care of before we could say anything. I hate fishing and had the time of my life! He kept in contact with other captains throughout the day so we always knew where the best fishing was. Very polite and such a people person. I can't wait to go back next summer! (Doesn't hurt the fish is amazing that you get to take home...and organic!)

The couches were comfy for post-fishing lounging, the beds were comfy, the kitchen well supplied, everything clean and fresh. Speaking of fresh, we even got to help unload the live shrimp delivery, which was fun because why not learn a little bit about live bait? The staff is extremely kind and hospitable!

Want to see the Louisiana wildlife up close and personal until you say....damn where is my…read morecrossbow, taser or holy snikeys runnnnnn? Well then this is the place for you. In all seriousness this is a great wildlife refuge and just be alert! There is a parking lot, bathrooms for your first break on the road if you are headed along the map trip and plenty of outdoor walking opportunities. Please remember your bug spray but, even the deep woods off won't help you; I mean the mosquitoes seem to enjoy the extra deet in it. While they were eating me alive I could almost hear them say.."oooh is this deet in there because I just love me some deet?" You want to go to the right of the sign and start walking which will lead you on the trails= loop, into lookout towers, seeing grassy marsh land, alligators, plants, birds, etc. The nature out here is inspiring and even though it was a steamy Louisiana temperature it was still worth it. The lady at the starting point told us this is where you see the biggest gators but, we didn't see any unfortunately since we were getting eaten alive by mosquitoes but the scenery tempted me to keep going. This is a well kept nature trail/park and the grass was mowed but, unfortunately there was a dead alligator that was stinking up the first part of the trail. Make sure you wear long pants, long sleeve shirt, bring water, wear walking shoes and come ready to sweat and endure!

This trail is so beautiful with different kind of birds and gators and it was Christmas Day , we had the trails scattered across more than 100 miles all to ourselves. This is such a a gem . The long board walks in the swamps amid different birds , turtles and gators was amazing. This trail starts from the town of sulphur and runs more than 150 miles looping all the way through swamp lands to the sea at holy beach and Rutherford beach. Take out at least 6hours from your itinerary for a leisurely trip through the trails. If you rush through you will miss all the exotic things it has to offer.
