Rivertown's Features and Attractions

Kenner's Rivertown is proud to be home to the following attractions suitable for residents and vistors of all ages!

LaSalle's Landing

LaSalle’s Landing is located at the southernmost end of Williams Boulevard at the foot of levee.  This area boasts not only historical significance, but it also satisfies the curiosity in us all to witness the strength and power of the mighty Mississippi River.  Trek up the levee and test your knowledge of Louisiana history as you stroll under the flags of ten different countries, all of which at some point governed our home state.  Once at the top, visitors can soak in the sights of magnificent ships, tugboats and other vessels navigating the river.  A well maintained bike and walking path also awaits at the top for those seeking further adventure!
