About This Trail
This educational nature trail winds through a carefully curated arboretum featuring native Louisiana trees and plants, each identified with informative plaques. The shaded loop is perfect for learning to identify species from stately magnolias to swamp-loving cypress, and the flat, well-maintained path welcomes hikers of all ages and abilities. Interpretive materials available at the park office enhance the botanical experience.
Getting There
From Ville Platte, take LA-3042 north for 7 miles to Chicot State Park. Enter the park and follow signs to the Arboretum Trail parking, located near the park's nature center on the eastern shore of Lake Chicot.
