Sam Houston Jones State Park

Sam Houston Jones State Park is a southwestern Louisiana treasure chest of deer, otters, and foxes, bald cypress forests, and lagoons. You can’t go wrong birdwatching, boating, or exploring here! Hike a few trails, like the Old Stagecoach Road which runs along the Calcasieu River. Or, get out on the water via one of the many nearby waterways. Take a scenic drive or simply chill out under the cool, shady trees at your campsite. While this park is near the city of Lake Charles, these green 1,087 acres will feel like a massive backyard sure to bring out your inner explorer.
