The Louisiana Hike That Leads To The Most Unforgettable Destination
Louisiana isn’t known for our sweeping mountain views, but what we lack in peaks and valleys, we make up for in bayous and swamp scenes. However, there’s one particular hike that you wouldn’t expect to find in Louisiana, and it leads to a truly unforgettable destination.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
It was named after James Christopher Driskill, who owned 324 acres, including Driskill Mountain and the surrounding area, during the 1850s.
There are signs directing you to the trail and the trail itself is very easy to follow.
Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by towering pines and beautiful landscape.
You’ll have lovely views of Mount Jordan, the second highest natural point in the state (at 492 feet).
And now you have bragging rights to tell your friends that you hiked to the tallest natural summit in Louisiana!
