About Poverty Point Reservoir State Park
Poverty Point Reservoir State Park is a state park in Richland Parish in northeastern Louisiana located along a 2,700-acre (4.2 sq mi) man-made reservoir offering camping and watersport activities, swimming, hiking, and fishing. The reservoir is named after nearby Poverty Point, an archeological site settled between 1,400 and 700 BC consisting of Native American earthworks and other artifacts. The park has eight deluxe cabins, four standard cabins, and fifty-four campsites. Birding is excellent since the region falls in the Mississippi Flyway for many winged species.
