Visit Webster’s Finest Fishing Spots

Grab your trusty fishing pole, some bait and head out on for a fishing adventure on one of our lakes or bayous. Lake Bistineau State Park is home to black crappie, largemouth bass, bluegill and many more. You can enjoy fishing from the dock or find a rental to get out on that beautiful water. Or enjoy a guided fishing tour during your trip with one of our local legends, Homer Humphreys or Big Sasquatch Outdoors. Once the sun rises and the rays start bouncing off the lake, you’ll be mesmerized.

Visit Calming Campsites

Chill out and enjoy a nice fire near the water at one of Webster Parish's many campsites. Grill up some of the fish you catch and gather around the picnic table to share with all your camping crew. Explore through longleaf pine trees right off Lake Caney, or hike or bike the trails surrounding Lake Bistineau. Surround yourself with wildlife, listening to the birds sing overhead or watching the deer prance by. As the sun settles below the trees, let the crickets chirping send you off to sleep.

Visit Breathtaking Bayous by Kayak

Immersed in the waters of the bayou, you’ll find yourself in awe of the enormous bald cypress trees overhead. Paddle your way through beautiful sites, pack a picnic and find a nice island to rest and replenish your energy, so you can take in every inch of beauty the bayou offers. Every curve of the bayou leads to a new view, so don’t forget your camera — or just stop and soak up a moment you will never forget. Wildlife dances at the edge of the shoreline, birds soar overhead and fish tread the waters. Engulfed in the towering trees, get back to your relaxing nature.

Visit Thriving Trails

For higher-energy folks, enjoy the numerous bike trails that circle our lakes and state parks. Whether you’re hiking, biking or horseback riding, Kisatchie National Forest has gorgeous scenery with majestic bald cypress trees. Adrenaline junkies can load up their ATVs and head to Muddy Bottoms for an unforgettable experience. A local favorite for winter events is the famous Cajun Muddy Gras.

A place for every angler, camper, paddler, photographer and person who wants to feel like themselves again.
