The Atlas/Louisiana/McGee's Swamp Tours

McGee's Swamp Tours

Swamp tour outfitter on the Henderson Levee Road inside the Atchafalaya Basin, the largest river swamp in the United States. Founded in 1977, McGee's offers boat and airboat tours with native Cajun guides through cypress swamps and backwater channels. The levee road itself — accessible by bike — offers views across the basin, and the landing sits at the edge of open water.

// Why riders stop

The Henderson Levee Road is a short, flat blacktop dead-ending at the swamp — worth the detour off I-10 for the basin scenery alone before or after a tour.
