About New Roads

New Roads is the seat of Pointe Coupee Parish, a small and charming community on False River — an oxbow lake off the Mississippi. The area is known for its antebellum homes, fishing, and quiet bayou lifestyle. While smaller than other cities, it has access to regional resources and is a short drive from Baton Rouge.
