Walter B Jacobs Memorial Nature Park

Louisiana


If you're feeling the need for fresh air after the reconstituted, sweaty oxygen of the casinos, head out here and stomp around 5 miles of nature trails (one wheelchair accessible) that cut through 160 acres of pine, oak and hickory forest. The serene woods are lovely for a half day's walk. You'll also find an interpretive building on-site, and the occasional naturalist volunteer helping explain the ecosystems of Northwest Louisiana.
