Alaska - visit family on Kodiak Island, the Kenai, the Matanuska Valley, and North Pole regularly. I live in the big town, Anchorage, with more wildlife than you can shake a fireweed at. Summer is ending, we will have snow on the mountains soon so I'm getting in all the snow-free runs I can before I change over to skis. Hmmm, might try snowshoes again this year. Best thing is the views of the ocean, the mountains, the forests, the glaciers, and enjoying the clean fresh air, never-before-used water, and how quickly I can get to quiet, secluded spaces ~0

I'm going with where I grew up.
Tensas Parish in NE LA. Most all of the coolest things have to do with the Mississippi River, though the union army did winter on the banks of Lake St. Joe near Newelton prior to the seige of Vicksburg.
The towns in the parish sit on high spots that typically avoided the annual river rises. The parish is named for the Tensas Indians and is bordered by the Tensas River to the west. Most of the parish seems to be farmland as the soil is some of the most fertile on earth.
One thing that is fascinating to me is the drainage of the parish. Even though the Mississippi is on the eastern edge, most of the parish actually drains west into the Tensas river once you get west of the natural levee (and the unnatural levee).
There are 4 public Mississippi River oxbows which are great for fishing and recreation. Lake St. John and Lake Bruin are both "outside the levee" lakes that maintain a near constant water level and have excellent water quality. Lake St. Joseph is a similar lake, but due to a much higher drainage basin, is shallow with lower water quality than Bruin or St. John. Lake Yucatan is an "inside" the levee oxbow and is influenced by the Mississippi River at higher river levels. This lake was actually the main channel of the river as of the Civil War as it has submerged rock dikes (used to increase the depth of the channel for boat traffic) and submerged steam boat docks. This lake and the private lakes of somerset are a testiment to the wild and sometimes unpredictable nature of a mighty river such as the Mississippi.0
