Poverty Point Reservoir State Park, Recreation area with 2,700-acre reservoir in Richland Parish, United States
The state park features two four-lane boat launches, a North Marina Complex with 48 covered slips, and a dedicated swimming beach near Delhi.
The park, established in 2005, takes its name from the nearby Native American archaeological site dating between 1400 and 700 BC.
The park sits along the Mississippi Flyway, attracting numerous migratory birds including cormorants, bald eagles, ducks, geese, and pelicans throughout seasons.
Visitors can choose between eight deluxe cabins, four standard cabins, and fifty-four campsites, all equipped with essential amenities for overnight stays.
The eastern section near Bayou Macon contains natural habitats for Louisiana black bears, requiring specific safety protocols and bear-proof waste containers.
