Allen Parish, Gateway to Southwest Louisiana, is traversed by the spring-fed waters
of the Calcasieu and Whiskey Chitto rivers, which offer some of the best canoeing in the state.
For the hunter or bird watcher, West Bay Wildlife Management Area is open year round, and
visitors can enjoy overnight camping at Little Piney Park located near the historic sawmill
town of Elizabeth. Like Louisiana seasonings, Allen's potpourri of cultures is celebrated
at Oberlin's Cajun Rendezvous, the Kinderfest, Oakdale's Springfest and Great Louisiana
Cook-off, Elizabeth's Country Christmas, and the Coushatta Indian Reservation. Allen's pioneer
flavor can be savored at Grant's Syrup-Making Mill and Christmas Tree Farm, West Bay Peach Farm,
or Gamble's Muscadine Vineyards. Lovers of Louisiana flora can stroll the shaded paths of
Fuller-Edwards Arboretum in the heart of Oakdale, while the Parish Courthouse in the Centennial
City of Oberlin beckons the admirers of early Louisiana architecture.
