We previously did an article on the 2024 solar eclipse for the Louisiana state parks, and figure that there is an amazing opportunity for mapping those state parks to their Bortle Scale values. With the help of https://www.lightpollutionmap.info, we created the following table to provide information about the entire state parks for Louisiana in regards to light pollution and astronomy.

Item	How Many
Number Of State Parks	21
Number of Different Bortle Scales	4
Level 1 Bortle Scale State Parks	0
Level 2 Bortle Scale State Parks	0
Level 3 Bortle Scale State Parks	7
Level 4 Bortle Scale State Parks	10
Level 5 Bortle Scale State Parks	3
Level 7 Bortle Scale State Parks	1

Using the 2024 solar eclipse map, we had a great start to knowing the state parks, so we just added in the light pollution information. Here is some camping information for these state parks. Louisiana State Parks can be found here.
