Acadiana Supreme! Henderson is well known for its Cajun and Creole culture, and its legendary Cajun cooking and crawfish, and is the location of a number of popular restaurants.
We can't count the number of times we've had great crawfish dinners at Pat's Fisherman's Wharf Restaurant in Henderson at the edge of the Atchafalaya River Basin over the years! Pat's is always a treat!
Another favorite for years is Robin's Restaurant. Great fishing and swamp tours are available in nearby Lake Bigeaux and Lake Pelba.
It hasn't been long since we spent a great, leisurely afternoon with McGee's Atchafalaya Basin Swamp Tours, leaving from McGee's Landing. And we remember the good times we had staying at the camp at Butte La Rose!
Henderson is located just east of Lafayette on I-10, in the heart of Cajun Country and Acadiana, and conveniently located in America's Wetland, the great Atchafalaya Swamp!
Henderson, in St. Martin Parish, has a population of about 1,500 residents.
Nearby are the cities and towns of Abbeville, Breaux Bridge, Butte La Rose, Arnaudville, Cecilia and Broussard. It is also a short drive to St. Martinville and New Iberia. See Henderson map below.
