Harrisonburg greets you from high ground above the Ouachita River, where sunsets spill across the water and the earthen ramparts of Fort Beauregard hint at stories from another century. Minutes from town, the Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge offers prime birding and serene drives along backwaters teeming with migratory waterfowl, with even more rugged terrain and waterfalls waiting at Sicily Island Hills Wildlife Management Area. Anglers and paddlers appreciate easy access to the Ouachita‑Black Rivers System, maintained for navigation and recreation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As the seat of Catahoula Parish, the town blends courthouse‑square tradition with plenty of room to roam.
Families value the supportive environment of local schools overseen by the Catahoula Parish School Board, with athletics, band, and ag programs anchoring Friday nights and community events. Everyday needs are close at hand, while broader shopping, dining, and services are an easy drive in Jonesville, Jena, and Ferriday. Health care options include nearby Riverland Medical Center, and music lovers make quick trips to the Delta Music Museum to explore the region’s rock‑and‑roll roots. Whether you’re drawn by hunting seasons, riverfront weekends, or a slower pace with welcoming neighbors, Harrisonburg makes small‑town living feel expansive.
