Neighbors in West Carroll Parish and Madison Parish are a short drive, while regional hubs like Monroe and river history in Vicksburg keep weekend options wide open.
Outdoor lovers can spot black bears and migratory waterfowl at the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge through the official U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service page, Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge. World-class prehistory awaits just west at Poverty Point World Heritage Site via Louisiana State Parks, Poverty Point World Heritage Site near Epps, and families find beaches, cabins, and fishing at Louisiana State Parks, Poverty Point Reservoir State Park by Delhi.
