What Locals Say about Lake Charles

Review Highlights

Lake Charles: lively, easygoing Gulf city with Cajun eats, festivals, quick drives, and waterside fun. People love the friendly vibe, short commutes, parks and water, good food, and family festivals. They gripe about traffic and the I-10 bridge, patchy transit and sidewalks, and some rough areas.
