In college, about 20 years ago, I lived downtown in what is currently Spencer Callahan's office. Routinely we would get drunk and walk over late at night with an ice chest and go swimming. We would put the ice chest under the bridge and we could hang out as long as we wanted. Once or twice the cops came and we would just go under the bridge and hide. They actually thought it was funny. Good times.
That being said... we were drunk idiots. I would never take a child swimming there.

Same here, drunk, climb it, and sit in the top by the Red Stick.

The European-American history of Baton Rouge dates from 1699, when French explorer Sieur d'Iberville leading an exploration party up the Mississippi River saw a reddish cypress pole festooned with carcasses marking the boundary between the Houma and Bayou Goula tribal hunting grounds. They called the pole and its location le bâton rouge, or the red stick. The local Native American name for the site was Istrouma.

It's across the street from the River Center between LASM and the USS Kidd. LINK

I'm no pro but I've done those kinds of pics a few times.
Tripod, low ISO(100 or so), and then tinker with your shutterspeed. 4+ seconds I would imagine to get that bright of pics depending on lens.
The big key is get yourself a tripod.

I wish people would post photos that they took of the levee/downtown BR onto social media.
Nobody ever does that these days.

It is actually quite simple..
Of course tripod mounded
Put the camera in AV mode, go to smallest f/stop
Set ISO to 100 or so
Put camera in Live View, zoom in and manual focus
meter the scene (pressing 1/2 down on shutter release)
If the metering is greater than 30 secs (longest time on most cameras w/o using "Bulb"), decrease the f/stop until the meter reads 30 (secs)
The image of the bridge ended up being 30 sec f/11
the image of the Old Capitol was shot at f/2.8, so the time was only 1/20 of a sec
