Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Poverty Point Reservoir State Park adventure.
Discover the allure of Poverty Point Reservoir State Park.
Thousands of acres of pure fun! From fishing to water-skiing, birdwatching to swimming, Poverty Point Reservoir State Park has got it all for your summer vacay. Take the afternoon to paddle down the Bayou Macon, a cool 6.5 mile trail that cruises through the woods of the Deep South. Great for avid kayakers, perfect for rowing newbies. If you want to see the Bayou by foot, walk the nature trail, or just kick back on your private deck at one of the reservable cabins or lodges and take in the views. Keep your radar on the water long enough and you’ll see white pelicans, egrets, and storks! Cypress trees and spanish moss make this Northern Louisiana landscape green and dense, but this park is conveniently close to the historic downtown of Delhi. So, pack up your oars and head to the Bayou where the water is lovely and the wildlife is happenin’!
The ideal time to visit Poverty Point Reservoir State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months can be quite warm, so be prepared for higher temperatures if you visit then.
