Looking to break away and spend some time alone? We’ve compiled the perfect secluded spots in Louisiana to visit when you just want to listen to the sounds of nature, marvel at our beautiful landscape, and recharge your batteries.
- Longleaf Vista Recreation Area
Ross Tompkins/Google You’ll find seclusion pretty much everywhere in the Kisatchie National Forest, but few spots compare to the treetop views at the Longleaf Vista Recreation Area.
- Chemin-A-Haut State Park
Andrew Payne/Google Easily one of the most overlooked state parks in Louisiana, Chemin-A-Haut State Park is a 500-acre beauty tucked away in northern Louisiana with beautiful bluffs, bayou views, and tons of trails for hikers, bikers, and even equestrians to explore.
- Lake Martin
Dominique Hazard/Google For nature lovers, photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts, Lake Martin is a must-see. This beautiful lake located in Breaux Bridge is part of the Cypress Island Nature Preserve and is home to thousands of animals ranging from squirrels to alligators and everything in between. It’s one of the largest bird sanctuaries in the state, and during your visit, you’ll likely encounter several birds like egrets, herons, and maybe even a bald eagle or two.
- Holly Beach
Amy Britt/Google Nothing like a little beachside solitude to recharge your batteries. Sink your toes in the sand, search for seashells, and listen to the sounds of the waves crashing onto the shores at this hidden gem down in Cameron Parish.
- Bogue Falaya Wayside Park
Anne G./Google If you’re on the Northshore and needing an escape, the quiet comforts of Bogue Falaya Wayside Park are just the ticket. Sit back and watch the lazy Bogue Falaya River, sprawl out on the wide-open green space, or find a cozy pine tree to lean against and read a book.
- Lake Fausse Pointe State Park
Theresa Arizola/Google This massive state park features over 6,000 acres, so it’s a pretty safe bet you can find somewhere within the park that’s quiet and free of people. Located on the Atchafalaya Basin, this beautiful park is great for kayaking, hiking, and birdwatching.
- Kiroli Park
cgerz/Trip Advisor Kiroli Park might be one of the most popular parks in the West Monroe area, but it’s large enough that we feel pretty confident you can find a place of your own to sit for a spell. The nature walks will lead you through the park’s beautiful landscaping including a lake, incredible gardens, and pine forests.
