Shreveport-Bossier City Area

Sprinkled among the lakes and bayous in this northwestern part of the state are scenic state parks, excellent fishing and great nature viewing areas, including portions of the Kisatchie National Forest, which spreads across more than 600,000 acres.

In the cities of Shreveport and Bossier City, six casinos and a horse-racing track entertain visitors, and Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets, situated along the banks of the Red River, is a hub for outlet shopping, dining and recreation.
