Review:
Bogue Chitto State Park is a 1,786-acre area near Franklinton, Louisiana, with a number of diverse natural habitats that include small streams, a hardwood forest, cypress tupelo swamps, rolling fields, and upland forests. One of the most interesting features in the park is Fricke's Cave, actually a gorge filled with delicate spires made of sandstone. They were formed by water erosion of the rock surface under the pebbles. When the sandstone rock is dissolved, the pebbles show up on top as the spires. Over time, these have grown to over 2 feet high. There are boardwalks for visitors so that they can come and enjoy the view without damaging this fragile work of nature. The park has 14 miles of horseback riding trails, and the river is perfect for kayaking or canoeing while the 11 lakes are fully stocked with fish. There are campgrounds and cabins for overnight stays.
