At Bogue Chitto State Park, visitors will experience a diversity of natural habitats on one of the most dynamic and scenic river systems in Louisiana. The 1,786-acre site includes small streams, cypress-tupelo swamps, a hardwood forest, upland forests, a rolling landscape and activities the entire family will enjoy.

Overnight visitors will find accommodations from tent camping and RV camping to cabins overlooking the bluffs.  There is even a seven-campsite equestrian campground designed to accommodate campers and their horses.  For larger groups and family reunions, the park offers a group camp and a conference room.

Bring your mountain bike and explore the 14-miles of meticulously maintained trails for bikers of all skill levels.

Fricke's Cave, which – despite its name – resembles more of a gorge, possesses delicate sandstone spires created when water erodes the surface underneath pebbles. The pebbles remain perched atop the spires, while over time water splashes on the sandstone surface, forming the two-foot-tall fingers of sandstone that shoot up from the now-lowered surface. Boardwalks have been built so that visitors can admire the sandstone creations from afar, as the formations are too delicate to allow visitors to walk among them.

Bring your own or rent a horse to explore 14-miles of equestrian trails that wind through some of the most interesting topography of southern Louisiana, with the trailhead located near Fricke's Cave.

A day trip to Bogue Chitto State Park will be a full one, with a river perfect for canoeing or kayaking, 11 lakes stocked with a variety of freshwater fish, a water playground, numerous picnic pavilions and an outdoor classroom.
