VERNON PARISH – LOUISIANA’S LEGEND COUNTRY

Louisiana’s Legend Country boasts of outlaws during its No
Man’s Land days, but more recently, we are known as the training
ground turning out the brave soldiers who serve in our United
States Armed Forces from Fort Polk. Along with historic trea-
sures, outdoor tours can be set up for groups - hiking, horseback
riding, fishing, or kayaking. Local outfitters can provide your
needs for equipment and guides if needed. See a few options
below, but give us a call to help arrange an enjoyable tour for
your group, with the bonus of small-town charm and amazing
dining throughout the area!
