2. 4.5 Louisiana State Arboretum (16 reviews)
   - Hiking in a natural growth forest!
   Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM State Parks
   
   
   We spent a couple of hours in this beautiful natural area. The naturalist who led our hike was knowledgeable and responsive to our group's many questions. She pointed out such interesting trees, including the "toothache" tree, the Devil's Walking Stick, and the Horse Sugar three. We even tasted the leaf of the last one, noting its sour apple flavor! We saw armadillos rooting in the ground, and a couple of deer wandered by while we walked the boardwalk. The Visitors Center has informative exhibits and the signage along the way was superb! If you're in this area of Louisiana, it's definitely worth a trip! See more..
   
3. 4.0 Chicot State Park (118 reviews)
   - tent camper - regretted being at campgrounds on Friday and Saturday nights.
   State Parks
   
   
   Chicot State Park is in many ways very attractive with its forested and hilly terrain plus its reservoir filled with bald cypress and a few tupelo. Plus adjacent to it is the state Arboretum with its educational displays and identified trees. Highly recommended. Overall park was clean but the only shower in the park was okay but really needs to be upgraded. We had about a half mile commute to that shower each day from our campsite. Rode our bikes so that was okay but calls of nature were a problem due to the distance. Thank goodness for a thorny olive bush. As a tent camper, we regretted being at South Landing Campgrounds on Friday and Saturday nights. Very loud music and very loud voices till late hours with no enforcement of quiet time. Bike trail for mile one is not an enjoyable mile to ride. Several steep up and downs with eroded banks and exposed tree roots. We had to push our bikes rather than ride them. Going in the opposite direction was much better with mostly flat terrain to ride. See more..
