We’ve got everything planned out for you: your lodging, attractions, activities, and more. Pack your bags, adventure awaits!

First, you’re going to need a place to stay.

Tammy Orr/Google Poverty Point State Park is the perfect spot to call home for the weekend. Bring your RV, pitch a tent, or rent one of the waterfront cabins.

This slice of paradise is nestled along a 2,700-acre man-made reservoir that’s a popular spot for fishing, swimming, and other water sports.

Just a few minutes away is the Poverty Point World Heritage Site, one of the most fascinating places in the Pelican State.

Over 3,400 years old, Poverty Point was a massive community and trading hub in its heyday before being mysteriously abandoned.

Kris Fam/Google Since these early inhabitants left no written word behind, archaeologists and historians are trying to piece together their day-to-day lives by what they’ve uncovered. During your visit, pop into the visitor’s center where you can see some of the artifacts that have been unearthed.

While you’re in the area, be sure to check out Wild Country Safari Park.

Karen Baity/Google Animal lovers of all ages will have a blast here.

At Wild Country Safari Park, you can get up close and personal with some of the most exotic animals on the planet–all from the comfort of your own car!

Karen Baity/Google You can take one of the tours or drive through yourself. Be sure to purchase some feed for these cuddly critters!

After a day of history and cuddling animals, you can retire back to your cabin and watch the sunset over the reservoir.
