Open the northern door to Louisiana, and drive the Bienville Trace, Poverty Point
Parkway, and Grant's Marsh Scenic Byways along the natural landscape of
East Carroll
and
West Carroll
Parishes.
Come and experience rich plantation farm systems, Louisiana cotton and Mississippi River delta
culture as you drive to
prehistoric Poverty Point
and historic Grant's March of the Vicksburg
Campaign. A seven-mile drive along cypress-studded oxbow lake Lake Providence opens doors to
National Register Historic district and Victorian Byerley House Visitors Center and Park with
scenic natural lakes and rivers. Hunt "delta deer" in Wildlife Management Area, go birding
from eagles to egrets, and enjoy water sports on Lake Providence. Open the doors to a Mennonite
Bakery, antique shops, and gift shops before you visit the haunted doors in Transylvania.
Christmas doors and more than 200 trees illuminate "Lights Along the Lake" in December. For
more information on East Carroll Parish, contact Doorway to Louisiana, 600 Lake Street, Lake
Providence, LA 71254, (318) 559-5125.
