Sam Houston Jones State Park spans 1,087 acres at the confluence of the Houston River, the Calcasieu River, and the Indian Bayou. It features lagoons dotted with bald cypress trees, diverse wildlife, and excellent opportunities for boating, kayaking, and bird-watching among its longleaf pines—some of the oldest in the south. The park includes three hiking trails, including the historic Old Stagecoach Road, which is ideal for short or extended hikes. There is ample parking, restrooms, and drinking water, with an entry fee of $3 to visit one of Louisiana's most beautiful public parks.
