Eddie D. Jones Nature Park - Parks & Recreation - Shreveport, Louisiana



City: Shreveport, LA
Category: Parks & Recreation

Description: Located 25 miles southwest of Shreveport, this adventure park has more than 10 miles of rugged mountain biking trails, fashioned into a loop, over rolling terrain. Love to hike? Check out the equally rugged 1.5-mile trail. For both types of adventurers, be sure to bring your own supplies, including plenty of water or other rehydrating fluids, especially in the summer months when the temperature can hit the triple digits. Horseback riding trails are also on-site, but you need to bring your own mount, with water for this travel companion as well. A park ranger will be on duty to assist in orienting you to the rustic facilities. Restrooms and a small visitor center await your arrival. Free parking available. Located next to Chimp Haven, the National Chimpanzee Sanctuary. Open Wed through Sat, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sun, 1 to 5 p.m. Closed on major holidays.
