  I had not been to Natchitoches in several decades and remembered the front street and river front as run down and something to be avoided. This trip I was amazed and impressed at the difference. It is now restored and charming, and well worth a diversionary side-trip. Quaint and attractive, with the old downtown in top shape and the graceful old homes well kept and with sweetly manicured lawns and gardens. And the walk along the river is a treat.

  Visited Oakland Plantation and the Caroline Dorman Preserve. Both areas interesting and beautiful. Guides were excellent and informative.

  Very quiet drive with little traffic. Scenic landscape to enjoy, plantations to tour and alot of interesting history. Don't miss Oakland, Melrose, and Magnolia plantations. Oakland was our favorite and it's free!

  We truly like to visit historic Natchitoches. The old brick streets are narrow but inviting. The Cane River Lake is a perfect backdrop for a day of exploring Front Street.

  Be careful as your GPS or OnStar will send you to a closed building. It did however have area NPS park brochures out front that I found helpful. Follow the highway and make sure and see the plantations. It will give you a feel for what the area was really like.

  Tim was great - we were the only ones there for the tour so felt quite spoiled! Very rainy so we only toured the house but still very interesting and a nice way to spend a rainy afternoon.

  My mom is from Kinder, LA and so every time we go home to visit we take the back highways around Natchitoches, so happy it finally became recognized as a "trail". the views are spectacular along the lake.Take a walking tour of the the neighborhoods in town, many are older than you think, and the downtown area has some nice shopping and food.The gorgeous old homes are amazing and I always recommend the Oakland Plantation for touring, as well as a stop at Magnolia. I recommend a skip of Melrose, it is not a great tour, alot of the history is ignored, I can see history rewritten for less money elsewhere.

  I love to visit the cane river. It's so beautiful and hanging out in Natchitoches for a day is fun. Great place to go on a pretty day.

  It was a great history lesson... We learned a lot about that time period ....Things I bet a lot of us did not know!

  This is a great stop with lots of history. The ranger, Abby was very knowledgable and gave a great tour of Oakland Plantation. I would highly recommend.
