This event is part of a wider initiative of “First Day Hikes” held by state parks around the country.

These guided hikes are a great way to start the year off right—promoting mental and physical health in a fun and educational setting.

Poverty Point World Heritage Site offers visitors the unique opportunity to experience and learn about the earthworks and those individuals who raised them from the ground between the years of 1700 and 1100 BCE. The $6 admission fee provides access to the museum, film theatre, hiking trail, driving tour, and any interpretive events taking place at the site. Seniors have a discounted $4 admission fee, and children 6 and under are admitted free. Ranger-guided Tram tours are offered Wed-Sun for $4 per person, but no charge for those 6 and under.

Poverty Point is located at 6859 HWY 577, Pioneer LA 71266. The park is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For additional information, call us toll free at 888-926-5492 or 318-926-5492.
