the LA. For pictures of each individual Cabin & Campsite, and their prices, visit https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tickfaw-State-Park/149506481782320 and look under our Photo Albums. www.lastateparks.com also has additional information. Strolling through four ecosystems on more than a mile of boardwalks through Tickfaw State P
ark, visitors can experience the sights and sounds of a cypress/tupelo swamp, a bottomland hardwood forest, a mixed pine/hardwood forest and the Tickfaw River. Bicycle, stroll, or skate the interconnecting park roadways. Rent a canoe and take a fun-filled trip on this unique section of the Tickfaw River. Visitors can bring their own canoes or rent one at the entrance station for $20.00 for the day. Rentals are from 9:00 a.m. and the canoes must be back by 4:30 p.m. (We recommend calling the Park at 225-294-5020 if you are coming to the park just to canoe, as inclement weather and water levels could affect canoe rentals.) The Water Playground offers refreshing fun for those not quite adventurous enough to explore the swamps and sloughs. At Tickfaw State park, you can go night hiking or listen to the swamp nightlife from the porch of your vacation cabin. We also offer RV and Tent Camping. Check out the Nature Center for scheduled programs. While there, view the 800-gallon aquarium stocked with fish found in the Tickfaw River. There are also displays featuring the animals, history and culture of the area and of Louisiana. Be sure to watch the 8-minute introductory video about the history of the park area. A gift shop in the Nature Center (open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday) offers souvenirs with a local flavor.
