The Great Escape: Discover Monroe – West Monroe
Looking for a road trip? Monroe – West Monroe is nestled on the banks of the Ouachita River & Bayou Desiard, making it an ideal spot for a summer getaway.
Why We Love
Flowing from the mountains of Arkansas, the mighty Ouachita River bisects the twin cities of Monroe and West Monroe, allowing for water adventure. Visit Forsythe Boat Ramp in the nearby Forsythe Park for some time on the water, or head a few minutes north of Monroe to Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge to see turtles, alligators and great blue herons.
A Must Do
Enjoy dinner with a view at Trapp’s or try Louisiana-style seafood and steaks served in a rustic space with a riverside deck at the Warehouse No. 1. A local favorite to note are the brussels sprouts at the Parish Restaurant. Visit the Biedenharn Museum & Gardens, a museum complex that features exhibits and events. The property includes a historic home filled with antiques and artifacts, formal English gardens, and a Coca-Cola Museum.
