5.0 Museum of the New Llano Colony (3 reviews)
- You won’t see this history anywhere else
Spent 1-2 hours History Museums

This museum features historic documents and artifacts from the cooperative days of the New Llano Colony in the early 1900s. This progressive Colony was based upon a utopian social concept. The Colony thrived for 20 years and had many citizens who were well known globally. The museum collection is exclusive. If you live in or visit Vernon Parish, I recommend taking an hour to visit/learn about this interesting experiment in our National history. See more..

5.0 Murray's (1 review)
- Great hangout
Spent More than 3 hours Bars & Clubs
The staff and other patrons were extremely friendly. The jukebox has everything; it downloads any song you want that isn't already there. The drinks were priced reasonably and I don't think I've ever played 50 cent pool before! This place is a hidden gem. See more..
4.5 South Toledo Bend State Park (51 reviews)
- Great State Park!
State Parks

Thankfully the tent camping spots and RV spots are separate. I enjoyed my view from a primitive spot along the reservoir. Nice and quiet and such a nice view when I woke up. The park is clean, safe, well planned. The restroom and laundry facilities are well maintained. There is a small beach and a few nice hiking trails. There is also a playground for young children near the RV spots. See more..
4.5 Leesville Art Park (4 reviews)
- Beautiful park concept featuring ART
Spent < 1 hour Parks

This serene park features works of beautiful art by local artist, serene benches, Book Nooks, a walking path. If you are in need of a very peaceful place to fill your senses with beauty and tranquility then this park is a must see. The sculpture ‘Billie’ is my favorite. See more..
4.5 Aligator Lake Recreation Area (4 reviews)
- Alligator Lake
Spent 1-2 hours Parks • Playgrounds

No I never saw any Alligators here, It is just the name. They have several playgrounds, A small pier for canoeing, Tennis courts, Basketball Courts, Party pavilions, Woods and trails and a lake that is a nice size for small boating without an engine. If military they have an MWR rental facility here to get canoes, kyaks, paddle boats and other sports equipment. Many of the units on Fort Polk will use this area for company parties and large gatherings. It is a really family friendly area and has lots to offer. See more..
4.0 Museum of West Louisiana (13 reviews)
- A walk back to the past
Speciality Museums

First, let me say that I am originally from Leesville, La but have currently being living in Maryland for over 14 years. As I get older, I have developed a fondness of my hometown. While visiting this past June (19-25), during our family reunion, our family planned a day in downtown Leesville to visit the Museum of West Louisiana. Although the tour is self-guided, the friendly lady that works there was pretty helpful along the way. I think she was excited to see a group of over 15 people at one time. Not to mention, admission is free. I highly recommend anyone passing thru and even those currently residing near by to visit the Museum for a snippet of West Louisiana and it rich culture. Born and raised an Louisianan!!! See more..

4.0 Batting Cages (1 review)
- Batting Cages
Spent 1-2 hours Game & Entertainment Centers
This was recently built after complaints about nothing to do on base. Now this is one of the few bases that offer this kind of activity. Great for family and parties. Kids love it and adults get to play a sport we all grew up and love. Cheap payment for a pretty good amount of balls so you get your moneys worth for sure. Your kids will love it as well as you. See more..
3.5 Tack-A-Paw Expeditions (2 reviews)
- Canoe Rental on the Sabine River
Spent More than 3 hours Gear Rentals

This was an easy 10 mile paddle down the Sabine River with stops to watch birds and catch a few bass. The owner was helpful with providing landmarks for our journey and he was prompt with picking us up at the end of the canoe trip and taking us back to our vehicle. Though a map of the river would have been a helpful addition to the journey. Expect to see lots of Kingfisher birds! We looked for bald eagles but didn't see any. Overall - very enjoyable and well worth the cost. See more..
3.0 Catfish Cove (3 reviews)
- Fort Polk Catfish Cove
Spent < 1 hour Bodies of Water

This area is setup on Fort Polk for families. It has a splash pad, basket ball court, play area with swings and playground equipment and the lake/pond for youth fishing. They stock fish in the lake/pond and have fishing competitions for families with kids during the summertime. All-in-all a nice area for families to bring their kids to play or fish as well as walk.

2.5 Club Zydeco (2 reviews)
- Rather small place
Bars & Clubs
This is a rather small place to be called a "Club". Most of the space inside is taken up by large pieces of furniture-couches, beer pong table, pool tables, etc, not leaving much room for dancing. It also draws in some rather troublesome kind of people. See more..
