This road is close to the Gulf of Mexico, roadways are traditionally built along the natural levees associated with north-south bayous. However, the Falgout Canal Road are among the very few examples of east-west roadways connecting associated north-south bayous/roadways deep into the marsh country. Moreover, these east-west roadways area very quiet, with wild and beautiful scenery along the path. Falgout Canal Road is best during the fall, winter, and early spring months when bird life is at its peak. During this period, Double-crested and Neotropic cormorants, Great blue Herons, Roseate Spoonbills, and other large wading birds/allies pack into the shallow marsh pools. Gadwall, Mallard, Northern Shoveler, and Blue-winged teal are also in abundance between November and February. Common Loon, although somewhat uncommon, is another water bird to watch for here. Hope you enjoy the scenic views.
