Louisiana’s Great River Road

Louisiana is a photogenic state, with a great mix of wild places and fascinating cities. Scroll through the images in this gallery for a slice of life along the state's Mississippi River corridor, but check back. I'll be adding more photos in the next few months. For pictures of New Orleans, go to this gallery.

“If you are planning to take the Great River Road along the Mississippi River…be sure to take along these new travel guides by Dean Klinkenberg… Actually, the books are entertaining to read without leaving your chair.”
–Becky Sisco, Big River Magazine, Jan/Feb 2010.

“Hey, Just found, read and finished your Lansing to Le Claire. Being a 78 year old that has followed the Mississippi, up and down, all my life, I thought I had little more to learn about the cities, villages and crossroads along the river. Not So! Absolutley loved your book. Great history, great descriptions, great humor. Just top notch!
Thanks for the great writing.
