Enjoy A Beautifully Scenic Weekend At This Hidden State Park In Louisiana

Louisiana has 21 state parks, each one offering something even more spectacular than the last. This particular state park is tucked away in a tiny northeastern town and is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway. Let's check it out.

Located on the shores of a scenic, 2,700-acre man-made lake, Poverty Point Reservoir State Park is just the ticket for when you need to get away for a couple of days.

This northeastern state park is a fisherman’s paradise. Bring your rod and reel and you might just catch any number of fish in the reservoir, including largemouth bass, crappie, and channel catfish.

Since the park is within the Mississippi Flyway region, birdwatcher’s will delight in the many different species of feathered friends that can be spotted in the area.

Speaking of wildlife, you might just see a black bear! Take caution when storing food or hiking the trails.

The waterfront cabins are an absolute treasure.

The cabins include everything you'll need for a relaxing getaway. Just bring some food and a good book, and you're all set! And the views are simply mesmerizing.

The nature trail winds along an offshoot of Bayou Macon, offering some stunning scenery along the way.

While you're in the area, be sure to visit Poverty Point, a prehistoric collection of earthworks that dates back over 3,000 years.
