Cane River Creole National Historical Park made for an interesting COVID-19 quarantine virtual…read moretour. Thanks to OnCell for sponsoring it. The virtual tour currently comprises of a simple, obscure link embedded in the word "app" on the webpage titled "Oakland Cell Phone Tour." The National Park Service (NPS) webmaster or whatever they are called these days needs to make this link more relevant and easier to find as they have done for other parks' main pages: https://www.nps.gov/cari/planyourvisit/oakland-cell-phone-tour.htm So it's a very simplistic "virtual tour." In actuality, it's a cell phone tour with a few photos of the buildings and landmarks that narrators describe as you would if you visited Cane River Creole NHP in the flesh with a map to guide you. Guided tours with an NPS staff member are also available when a pandemic hasn't plagued our great country. Their schedule is a bit lengthy to repost, so I suggest you call or visit their website ahead of time. The park encompasses two former plantations, Oakland and Magnolia, that are spread out near the Cane River in Louisiana. What was left behind pales in comparison to what the plantations must have looked like so long. The Creole people were extraordinarily clever at using their natural habitat to survive. Overall, I enjoyed learning about the history of this beautiful, live oak-lined area... especially "bousillage" (a mix of mud, Spanish moss, and/or animal hair used in architecture), the Pigeonniers, the Bottle Gardens, the Punkah fan, and the Overseer's house. TIPS - the Magnolia main house is still owned by the 7th generation of the LeCompte family and is not part of the park, thus, is off-limits to the public + the Oakland main house is guided tours only

It also backs up to a very bad part of town which really concerned me. But on a sunny Thursday in August at 1pm it felt safe, was pretty empty and relatively clean (except for some food trash). They have tandem mother/baby swings, a handicap swing, a large play set safe for an able-bodied 3 year old and lots of grass. I would visit again! The pool was surrounded by a chainlink fence and staffed with a lifeguard. Just a few children getting their swimming lessons.

Cane River Lake was perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding and hydro biking. It was so calm. They don't have a computerized system for registering guests nor did they have a separate person making snowballs, so when they were really busy, the line got backed up. I think there are only a couple or a few hydrobikes and I think only a couple mirage oasis boats. On the first day, my husband and daughter rented 2 hydrobikes and went out on the water for an hour. They loved those and had fun. For the last day we were there, my husband and I went out on the mirage oasis (for 2) and my daughter went paddle boarding for the first time. We initially went out for 1-hour, but they were close to shutdown time, so we added another 1/2 hour. Prices range for $15-25 per half to 1-hour. On the last day, it was nice on the river because there was a bit of an overcast, so the sun wasn't beating down on us and it wasn't too hot either. The staff was really nice, too! If you want some yummy snowballs... they have a lot of yummy flavors. When they're busy, they should have a separate line for snowballs and rentals. Overall, my family had a great experience!
