From cypress-lined bayous to mountain-bike trails and protected wildlife refuges, Northwest Louisiana is a quietly outstanding outdoor playground — minutes from any front door.
Camping, fishing, paddling, and a small zoo on a beautiful Bossier-Webster lake system.
Boardwalks, birding, and education center on the south end of Bossier City.
Trails through pine and hardwood forest with a year-round nature center in Caddo Parish.
40 acres of walking trails, sculpture, and seasonal azaleas in west Shreveport.
Fishing, sailing, and waterfront recreation just outside the city limits.
Plenty of playgrounds for the kids to enjoy, including Betty Virginia, Field of Dreams, and the riverfront splash pad downtown.
Spring (March–May) and fall (October–November) are the best months to be outside.
A Louisiana fishing license unlocks every nearby lake and bayou — buy online in 2 minutes.
Bring bug spray May through September — it's the South.
I'd love to walk you through the neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle that fit your family best.
