Louisiana State Parks - First Day Hikes

We're welcoming 2026 and looking ahead to America's 250th birthday in a way that feels true to Louisiana: outside, surrounded by our landscapes, our stories and our people.
For two days, our State Parks and State Historic Sites will host hikes. This isn't just a walk in the woods. It's a chance to start the year with reconnecting to the land that helped shape us.
Where: Jimmie Davis State Park
Self-guided hikes:
Piney Woods Trail - .5 miles
Track Chair Trail - .8 miles
When: Jan 1st & 2nd
Track chair is available for reservation and leashed pets are also welcome.
