Where the Waterfalls Are
Leesville sits in or near the Kisatchie and Tunica Hills area of Louisiana. Louisiana's few falls are spread across two hilly islands in an otherwise low landscape. In Natchitoches Parish, Kisatchie National Forest protects rugged sandstone country with longleaf pine, clear bayous and ledges where Kisatchie Bayou pours over small drops; Kisatchie Fall and Odum Falls are part of this area, and sandy beaches along the bayou are popular in warm weather. In West Feliciana Parish, the Tunica Hills rise above the Mississippi floodplain in a maze of steep, shaded ravines, and Woodriff Falls is one of the small drops found where creeks cut through clay and gravel. Both areas feel more like the uplands of neighboring states than typical Louisiana. Read the Louisiana waterfall guide.
