Louisiana State Parks

This site is actually really good.
Kent Plantation
In Alexandria
Melrose
Plantation
Folk artist, Clementine Hunter's "home;" also the home of
the "African House." There are a lot of Hunter's
primitive paintings on display. We visited the house in the
summer of 1999. The tour guides
were not good. Visitors walk in the rooms (they are
not roped off). A boring 20 minute video with awful
sound is shown. The tour guide acknowledged the sound
was bad and her only solution was to turn the window a/c off;
which was not a good alternative since it was a very hot Louisiana
summer day. Located in beautiful central Louisiana,
almost 4 hours from the UCM. If you are in the area,
you may look into the Bayou Pierre Alligator Farm -- it's
a real Louisiana tourist attraction.
Bayou Pierre Alligator
Farm
A great roadside attraction near Natchitoches, Louisiana.
Unlike other alligator farms, this place has a good layout,
it's clean, and loads of fun. Highly recommended.
Bring a camera. This site also has informative info
about gators.

National Forest
Located in central and northern Louisiana, it is 602,308 acres
with about 27 developed campgrounds.
