Collinston balances small-village ease with open skies and miles of bayou country. Set in Morehouse Parish, it places you close to daily needs in Bastrop and regional employers, shopping, and healthcare in Monroe and nearby Sterlington. Quiet streets, wide yards, and community events create a down-to-earth lifestyle, while farm stands and local cafés keep things friendly and familiar. Housing spans classic cottages, roomy ranch homes, and acreage, giving buyers a range of price points and room to grow.
Weekend plans come naturally here. Paddle cypress-lined water at Chemin-A-Haut State Park, a local favorite for family picnics, shaded trails, and kayak launches. For boardwalk birding, night-sky programs, and photogenic sunsets, the rangers at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge offer year-round activities. Anglers appreciate nearby lakes and bayous such as Bussey Brake Reservoir and Bayou Bartholomew, while hunters have access to public lands across the parish.
Families are supported by the Morehouse Parish School Board, with options that include traditional campuses and magnets. Higher education is close at hand through the University of Louisiana Monroe, and regional flights from Monroe make weekend getaways straightforward. Everyday life stays simple: local shops and services cover the basics, and larger retailers sit just down the road.
