Shongaloo
With the Boom or Bust National Scenic Byway passing through, Shongaloo conveniently sits between several towns in Northwest Louisiana, including Springhill, Minden, Homer and Haynesville.
Things to Do
Head south toward Minden to the Germantown Colony Museum, which recounts the story of a small religious settlement led by a count and countess. For outdoor recreation, spend time paddling on Bayou Dorcheat or the Caney Lakes, or go for a thrilling ride at Muddy Bottoms ATV & Recreation Park.
Places to Stay
In addition to commercial places to stay around Minden, like Best Western or Holiday Inn Express, there’s also the charming Huffman House Bed and Breakfast. Campers may appreciate the Beaver Dam Campground located within Kisatchie National Forest.
Food
Grab a sandwich at Crossroads Deli or head to Springhill, where options include spots like Pace Seafood and AmJenn’s Soups & Scoops.
Getting There
If you’re flying into town, Shreveport Regional Airport is the closest option at just over an hour away. From there, rent a car, hail a taxi or book a rideshare.
