Atchafalaya - The Biggest Swamp In The States

image credit

Atchafalaya - the name itself is something of a mystery. When exactly the swamp got its name is unknown, though it means long river in one of the local languages.

What is known about this place of splendor and inscrutability is that it is the largest swamp in the United States and is the spiritual home of Cajun culture.
