Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans.

Lake Pontchatrain is a popular spot for locals and tourists, especially on good weather days. Sunset at the lake is a perfect time to stroll along the waterfront. While there, be sure you take special notice of the fountains. The walkway from the parking area to the fountains has a series of ceramic tiles bearing the names, symbols, and colors of the different Mardi Gras krewes—the tight-knit groups that build the floats for New Orleans' famous carnival.
