Tickfaw State Park, Springfield, Louisiana

Each one of our State Parks was carefully chosen for its outstanding and excellent recreation potential. You can hike, fish, bike and enjoy birding and nature trails. Most State Parks feature a waterfront location, campsites and picnic areas. Several have air-conditioned cabins and/or group camps which, like other buildings in the parks, were designed to reflect each park's cultural environment and ambiance.
