South Toledo Bend State Park, Louisiana state park in Vernon Parish, United States.
South Toledo Bend State Park spans scenic bluffs overlooking the Toledo Bend Reservoir, featuring dense forests, extensive shoreline, and modern amenities including cabins, RV sites, boat ramps, and fishing piers for year-round aquatic recreation.
South Toledo Bend State Park's land was acquired in 1979, but the park opened to the public with facilities only on November 20, 2004. Its visitor center museum followed on July 21, 2005, with nature exhibits and dioramas on indigenous species. The park lies on the Toledo Bend Reservoir, one of two Louisiana state parks on its shores.
The visitor center museum, opened on July 21, 2005, holds nature-based exhibits and dioramas on indigenous species and their role in the environment. The park is a nesting ground for the bald eagle, which feeds on the reservoir's freshwater fish. Anglers here catch largemouth bass, catfish, bream and white perch.
The park is at 120 Bald Eagle Road in Anacoco. A 3,000 ft surfaced nature trail runs from the visitor center museum to the 1.5-mile Hippie Point Hiking Trail. Overnight stays use 19 cabins near the shoreline or 60 campsites; a two-lane boat ramp and a swimming beach are on site.
