Slidell Travel Guide

On the other side of Lake Pontchartain from New Orleans sits the town of Slidell, Louisiana. Part suburb to a major city, part pure Louisiana, Slidell has plenty of charm and people eager to welcome you to their way of life.

Things to Do in Slidell

Slidell has a diverse culinary scene, and while many visitors may be after traditional Cajun and Creole dishes, the suburb also has great Italian and Cuban food to offer up as well. With its location on the lake and near many marshes, there are plenty of wild spaces to take walks and enjoy the sounds of cicadas in the Southern heat. Just watch out for gators!

Best Time to Visit Slidell

Summer can be rather humid, but most other seasons are delightful. Aim to plan your trip in conjunction with an event like Mardi Gras or the Jazz Festival in New Orleans.
