The Louisiana parishes list, cleared up
Is every Louisiana parish covered?
Yes, all 64, from Caddo in the northwest corner to Plaquemines at the mouth of the Mississippi.
Why does Louisiana use parishes?
Louisiana’s 64 parishes are its local units of government, so every page here names them as a parish, such as Caddo Parish.
Are LDWF boat launches listed by parish?
Every launch in the LDWF inventory sits on the page of the parish that holds it.
Which parishes reach salt water?
The coastal parishes list their bays, passes, saltwater piers, launches and nearby reefs.
Which regulations appear on a parish page?
The pamphlet exceptions that name a lake or river in that parish.
Do parish pages show the parish seat?
Yes, with the seat and the 2020 Census population.
What does an unlinked parish name mean?
That parish page is still in the release queue and links up the day it goes live.
Do parish pages include charter captains?
Guide and charter businesses listed in the parish appear with their phone numbers.
