If you’re looking for the perfect spot to call home for a few days, then Chicot State Park is just what you need. This massive state park features some of the most stunning natural scenery in the state, and any outdoor explorer would have a blast here. Whether you’re going on a solo adventure or you’re looking for a family-friendly spot, this scenic state park will quickly capture your heart.
Tucked away in the tiny town of Ville Platte, Chicot State Park is an outdoor oasis just waiting for you to explore.
The splash pad is a great option for keeping cool during the warmer months, and there's even a kid's trail that's much shorter than the 20-mile hiking trail and full of fun sights the kids will enjoy.

And just when you thought you've explored the entire park, there's more.
And the informative placards along the way are super helpful for knowing what you're looking at.
While Chicot State Park might be the largest state park in Louisiana, there’s a special place in our hearts for some of Louisiana’s smallest state parks, too. Don’t let their size deter you, these tiny-but-mighty state parks sure pack a punch when it comes to scenery, hiking trails, and even history!
