Set in Natchitoches Parish, the community sits near the heart of the Kisatchie National Forest, where the Longleaf Trail Scenic Byway unfurls ridge views and trailheads for hiking, biking, and birding. Locals head to the Longleaf Trail Scenic Byway for a Sunday drive or to the Red Dirt Wildlife Management Area when hunting season arrives. Creeks and sandstone outcrops give this part of Louisiana a distinctive look, and dark, quiet nights make backyard stargazing part of the routine.
