The state of Louisiana has:

22 State Wildlife Management Areas • 3 State Wildlife Refuges • 1 National Forest
2 National Historic Parks • 2 National Wildlife Areas • 9 National Wildlife Refuges

For a complete list go to the state parks website. So far, I have driven through part of Kisatchie National Forest and the Black Bayou Lake Wildlife Refuge. There is so much to see here in Louisiana.  Broad, gorgeous expanses of land.  

Today I plan to go to the Upper Oauchita National Wildlife Refuge and the Lake D'Arbonne State Park. Both of these areas are home to migrating ducks and geese and a myriad of other animals as well as contributing to the reforestation projects in Louisiana.
