There's a whole world of history awaiting you in northwest Louisiana. Discover DESOTO PARISH, on the northwest boundary of the Louisiana / Texas line. From natural areas like TOLEDO BEND LAKE to living history reenactments at Civil War battlefields to small-town Americana, you’ll find an authentic experience that hearkens back to a slower, kinder time.
Drive through lush, rolling piney woods, see beautiful mid-19th century Greek Revival architecture, pick ripe berries in season, explore historic cemeteries, or simply shop at some of our small town stores. Eat hot water cornbread or Southern fried fish from the SABINE RIVER, stay at a hotel, B&B, or bicycle on our many paved roads through the countryside.
