Cross Lake Bridge

Cross Lake is an 8,575-acre man-made lake built in 1926 that is around 13.4 square miles. The lake…read moreis the primary water source for the City of Shreveport and is also used for many recreational activities such as boating, fishing and hunting. One of the original lakes created by the Great Raft on the Red River, Cross was completely drained by the second removal of the logjam in 1875. It was recreated for use as a water supply reservoir in 1926 when a dam was constructed at the neck of Cross Bayou. In 1989, a 1.6 mile bridge across the lake was opened. Crossing over it is impressive although taking pictures nearly impossible in a moving vehicle. I still feel like a wide eyed awestruck child going over it.

Cross Lake is a reservoir for the City of Shreveport, LA …read more.. Covers some 8K+ acres... If you're traveling on I-220 around the Shreveport-Bossier metro area then you'll hit this bridge depending on if your travels take you through Caddo Parish... Nothing special about the bridge itself cause it's simply an interstate concrete bridge...Well let me take that back, you'll notice you tend to cant(lean) toward the middle as you drive over the bridge...This is due to a hazardous materials feature they built into it...If a tanker hauling liquid was to wreck and spill it's contents the liquid is supposed to run to the center of the bridge and then drain into a retention pond at the east end of the bridge, thus protecting the water supply for Shreveport... But the other cool aspect is the views to your left if your heading West (or vice versa if you're heading East)....You can look across the lake and see the skyline of downtown Shreveport and the casinos and it's a pretty cool sight...not to mention the pleasure boaters, water skiers and sail boats you can see at certain times of the week/year... That's about all there is to say about it...it's just a cool experience in general...

Casinos, horse racing, hotels, festivals, attractions,…read morerestaurants, events, local favorites ... Welcome to Shreveport-Bossier: Louisiana's Other Side. I was transplanted here some 27 years ago and never left. I seriously enjoy what these towns have to offer. The city of Bossier City sits along the raging Red River and is the place to come if you are looking for a wild ride and a huge range of things to do. If you like the great outdoors, then there is certainly plenty to experience here, such as parks, & the largest rose garden in the United States. (Found at the Greenwood exit) Festivals!! Too many to list. You're not gonna get bored here! I love this place.

The first time anxiety kept me from doing or seeing too much. The second visit I got out more and got to know some of the places. There are a lot of hotels and casinos here. The second time I visited was during the quaran-times of 2020, so it is difficult to know of any large gathering public events being held. There are two axe throwing places here, which is amazing since there isn't one in the greater New Orleans are that I am aware of. Everything seems easily accessible. There seems to be something for everyone to do. Which is saying a lot. I look forward to coming back and seeing more that the city has to offer.

According to one source, the "Once in a Millennium Moon" mural is the largest in the United States,…read moretaking up some 30,000 square feet. It is on two sides of the AT&T building which would otherwise be very boring blank walls in a somewhat run down industrial neighborhood. Nationally renowned NEA fellowship mural artist Meg Saligman and her team worked to determine what should be painted on two sides of a 12-story building that would tell people in the next millennium who the people living in Shreveport were and what was important to them in the year 2000. 50,000 brush strokes, 1,500 gallons of paint, 2,500 paint cloths, 2,600 community painters, 4,000 community collaborators. Today, the enormous, colorful mural dramatically depicts the story of Shreveport--what is important to it, what has endured, what about it is beautiful, and what it wishes to leave for future generations. The east side of the enormous mural features 18 models, all everyday Shreveporters. It is a vibrant depiction of the cycle of life, with an infant at its center being showered with water from containers carried by a multi-ethnic cross section of the city's residents. Watching over the scene from the left is a Native American woman representing the original Louisianans. It was definitely worth detouring off I-20 to check it out. On a Monday morning, there were almost no other people around and it was quiet. Google says it's "closed" but I don't know how you close a mural. It is visible from the street and the parking lot. There is a caption at the foot of the mural pointing out the important parts. [Review 15978 overall - 56 in Louisiana - 1483 of 2021.]
