Located in the heart of Louisiana, Ethel is a quiet, rural community in beautiful East Feliciana Parish, which is part of an area known as the Florida Parishes. Nestled among several historic towns, Ethel is just 30 minutes from the capital city of Baton Rouge and the campus of Louisiana State University, and just two hours from New Orleans. Historic towns and cities within a short drive of Ethel are Clinton (founded in 1824), Jackson (founded in 1815), St. Francisville (established in 1809), and just a short trip across the John James Audubon Bridge is New Roads which began as a trading post in the 1720s. These historic towns and cities offer much in the way of history, antiques, cuisine, and many other attractions. If you’re an LSU or Southern University sports fan you can enjoy a quiet stay in the country while attending your favorite college sports.

Other attractions near your stay: Just 4 miles from Belle Terre is Barnhill Preserve where you can experience a hands-on encounter with exotic animals. June through early July is exciting with berry picking at several “you-pick” blueberry orchards nearby. Port Hudson State Historic Site is a short dive away. And, the city of Zachary is just a 20 minute drive from Ethel, where you can find many city conveniences and food choices to suit any tastes.
