Upon seeing the City of Harahan on Mapquest, one can’t help to marvel at its spectacular location with the community created on the northern banks of the mighty Mississippi River. If the longest and most well known river in the North America doesn’t impress you, you’ll only need to look to the north to get a glimpse of the breathtaking estuarine lake, Lake Pontchartrain. If that doesn’t impress you, you should first check your pulse to see if you’re alive, then look to the south to view the remarkable web of diverse ecosystems constituting Jean Lafitte National Park, Lake Catouatchie, and Couba Island.

We understand that nature and geography isn’t for everybody, so although you may not appreciate how blessed the community of Harahan is in regards to natural beauty, you will appreciate many other aspects of this charming city.

The City of Harahan is located in southern Louisiana’s bustling Jefferson Parish and is part of the Big Easy Metropolitan Area – the “Big Easy” for those who don’t know, is the pulsating place we know as New Orleans! You know, Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, the blues, fun, eclectic, invigorating – those are just some few words to describe this place where you feel like you are really living life to the fullest!

But its not all parties and mayhem here in this neck of the woods. Harahan is a relatively quiet residential area where one can still obtain much needed peace and tranquility.
