Floating camp on the Ouachita River near Finch Lake. There are no roads to this camp, the only access to it is by water. The camp is floating on pontoons and Styrofoam with the pole on the sides guide the camp up and down as the water rises and falls.

On the Louisiana/Texas border, Caddo Lake State Park is a beautiful swamp location to take in the sights mother nature provides. In all honesty, I believe this forest to be quite magical.

Cypress trees surround Finch Lake with their fall colored leaves making for a breathtaking sight indeed.
Anytime in Louisiana is an excellent time for visitors. The fall in Louisiana, however, might just be the best time because the weather is very agreeable and the natural scenery is truly breathtaking.
