The Alexander State Forest is 8,000 acres of beautiful bottomland hardwoods and various pine trees that’s an ideal destination for the outdoor explorer. And as an added bonus, it’s located in central Louisiana so it’s an easy road trip from any corner of the state. Tucked away within the forest is a massive 2,600-acre reservoir that’s the perfect spot for a day of fun in the sun.

The Indian Creek Reservoir is located in Rapides Parish, just outside Woodworth.
