    Volksmarch Trail head at Atlanta State Park
    Joe G.

    This is a nice quiet state park. There are lots of trails to hike and the lake is dig and scenic! The RV campsite is located close to the lake. The restrooms are clean and all the 50/30 amp outlets are new and in good shape! You can watch both the sunset and the sunrise from the day use area next to the RV park.

    It's very reasonable to do all the hiking trails in one day. I personally like Arrowhead the most because in about one mile you go from wooded pine trees soaring above your head to sandy soil by the lake shore to that same lake shore climbing upward until you're on a cliff of gravel!

    Beautiful tall trees! Every where!

    We visited this park in late April, perfect camping weather. Tall trees are everywhere in this park. They were having some issues with trees that died in the draught/severe summer last year. They were falling over! We didn't get hit by trees, but it was VERY buggy. The showers very nice, the people that worked the park are very laid back and friendly. Our main complaint was the LOUD peacocks that cry ALL THE TIME! We thought it was Bigfoot at first... Anyway, we liked it, we will be back.

    Waterfront walks do something for the soul, and this side of the park is no different!…read more Venture around here close to sunset for some ideal reflections and views, ideally after a candy and clothing shopping spree :)

    This park, nestled comfortably and purposefully, against the banks of the Red River in downtown…read moreShreveport, serves up memories to me, as profound as they are plenty. Just a mere few weeks after 9/11/01, this city hosted its' annual Fall Festival, the Red River Revel. And during this particular year, the Gypsy Songman himself, Jerry Jeff Walker was to be headlining one of the Saturday nights. My chums and I, all huge, adoring Jerry Jeff fans, went to the show in full vigor. I myself, consuming what was pretty much my own body weight at that time, in draft beer, during each and every song, and after show's end, then venturing to a local tavern across town, where I would ultimately end up unconscious, and seeking the comforts, spread eagle no less, of said tavern's convenient outdoor parking, and the asphalt thereof. And this, only after regurgitating some of my stomach's contents into an empty pint glass, inside said tavern. Then there was July 4th, 2005. It was the night before my Father passed away. I sat in my Father's hospital room, and he, on his death bed. The television hanging on the wall, was tuned in to a local station, which was broadcasting live from this very park, for its' annual Independence Day celebration. And on this night, at this very sad moment, I remember sitting in that chair in that room, my Father resting, and looking up at that television screen, and seeing all the people, all the visitors to the park that day, families, and couples. As the camera panned the large crowd, hundreds, maybe thousands of faces. They all looked so happy. So carefree. Life was so beautiful for them. I was going through one of the worst times of my life. And then, down at the festivities, the recorded voice of Louie Armstrong, and his song, "What A Wonderful World" began playing. I could hear it on tv. My Father remained asleep peacefully. I just began crying. Of course, there are other memories of this park, less heavy, and not as important maybe. I remember another Red River Revel, years later. Where I jumped up on stage with local band Dirtfoot and showed all forward looking eyeballs my latest and greatest dance maneuvers, as interpreted from the music the band was playing. This delighted both my future wife and festival security immensely. There have also been countless enjoyable viewings of outdoor films here courtesy of Movies and Moonbeams. Recently, this park was deluged with waters from the adjacent Red River, and suffered extensive damage. In recent months, as festival seasons have come and gone, this area has not been available or open. It appears now that most, if not all, repairs, as well as planned upgrades, are now complete. Hopefully, this park will once again become the focal point of all activity and highlights during festivals, as well as day to day downtown recreation.

    Great path to walk on elevated walk and connects to paved drive to connect both East and West…read moreBringle. Lots of wildlife. If you visit please clean up after your pet (doggy bags are available at the parks) and take your cups, bottles, and trash with you. Receptacles are close by so take it there instead of tossing it here. Preserve the beauty and nature trail.

    I go here to trail run. The main walking trail runs out to the lake and is about two miles out and…read moreback. The lake views by the spillway are worth the hike which is entirely wooded so that helps tremendously with the summer heat. Its very easy walking and I've even seen people on motorized skateboards. There are biking trails also but hiking/running them is permitted if you go against the bike traffic. These are pretty hilly and narrow and you need to watch your footing and listen for bikers if you're on foot. The trails overall are a blast to hike and run. Depending on which bike trail you take it is two or four miles. Whether you take a bike trail or the main trail once you get to the spillway you can keep following the trail which runs through the woods, around the golf course and dumps you out onto University Blvd about a mile and some change west of the park. That route including getting back to the parking lot is about six miles. There is also back road I believe that gets you close to the spill way if you don't want to hike.
