Best Lake Charles Trick or Treat Neighborhoods for Halloween

This is actually a pretty large section of town, but it gives you a lot of side streets to explore.  It's not on one of the main thoroughfares, which gives you a little traffic protection.

If you're up north of town, save yourself the hassle of driving into Lake Charles proper and make the rounds of the neighborhoods on the Executive Drive loop.  Another secluded neighborhood, there's no highway traffic to worry about once you get onto Executive and head north.

This one's a bit out of the way, but the people in this neighborhood usually go out of their way to make Halloween great.  Take Nelson Rd. south to Gauthier Rd. and then turn right.  The Savannah Lane loop will be on your right.

This one's kind of a no-brainer, if for no other reason than it's one of Lake Charles' most picturesque neighborhoods.  Again, a lot of side streets will give you plenty of places to explore if you'd rather stay off the more heavily trafficked Shell Beach Dr. directly.

Another tucked-away neighborhood that's a bit of a drive out of town, but worth it.  You can make the Spring Crossing loop along Kade Drive and then head north to Inverery Street and visit the subdivision back there, too.

This subdivision has two access points -- Nelson Road and Ham Reid Road.  That's helpful if your plan is to keep moving briskly.  Where some of the other neighborhoods on our list are loops (meaning you're somewhat trapped until you make the loop), Crestview gives you a few escape options.

Lots of twistey-turny neighborhoods tucked back here, which are great to tackle on foot, if you need.  You can pretty much roam from McNeese Street south to Country Club Rd. and hit a ton of great candy-filled homes.

If you're looking for something closer to the heart of the city, Oak Park is a great place to load up on candy.  Another great place for foot traffic, you can roam quite a bit of area without having to trek out to the boondocks.
