When you are tired of the rat race in the city, come to
Grant Parish.
We have the Glen Emery Nature Trail and Stuart Lake, a man-made lake within the
Kisatchie National Forest.
There are many miles of sparsely populated gravel roads that take you back to a slower-paced time
period, and beckon to the horseback enthusiast. Springtime is a beautiful time of the year,
especially in Grant Parish. The dogwoods blooming near Stuart Lake are beautiful to see during
the end of March and the beginning of April. Grant Parish has all of the features of Central
Louisiana's topography: hills, streams, lakes, flatlands, farmland, fields, small towns,
rivers, piney woods and hardwood bottoms. Our parish features two festivals, in April and
November, one celebrating pecans, the other Mayhaw Jelly. Colfax, Pollock, and Montgomery
feature several homes built at the turn of the century (1900). We have one feature that no
other parish in Central Louisiana can boast of no traffic signals! We only have blinking
caution and intersection lights! That's really rural!
