Chemin-A-Haut State Park is situated on a high bluff overlooking Bayou
Bartholomew and is a natural paradise for lovers of unspoiled beauty. This
503-acre site takes its name from the French word meaning "high road," which was
the route used by Native Americans many years ago in their seasonal migrations.
Chemin-A-Haut State Park was designed with children in mind. Two playgrounds
in the day-use area are a favorite spot of the younger patrons as is the wading
pool in the swimming complex. Also, the park's swimming pool is open Memorial
Day weekend through Labor Day, so campers and picnickers can refresh themselves
on hot summer days.
The picnic area includes 35 family sites with grills and tables, five group
sites (for up to 24 people), and three shelters. A hard-surfaced trail goes
through the picnic area and along the high, scenic banks of Bayou Bartholomew.
Rental boats afford visitors an even closer view.
Big Slough Lake, located near the edge of the park, offers an opportunity to
fish from the shore. Several varieties of freshwater species can be found there.
Take advantage of the beautiful seclusion of this ideal park site. |
