The bogue chitto state park trails have some small hills. Tunica has bigger ones. I'd recommend these places to start if you don't want to drive too far.

ETA: Sorry I didn't see you said north la. Probably Arkansas is your best bet then.

I'm trying to keep within three hours of Shreveport.

I just looked at Caddo Bend Trail in Ouachita State Park in Arkansas. Looks a little promising.

Certain areas of Kisatchie National Forest have some decent elevation to hike, although Ive only ever hunted there. I would look into possibly getting your son a quality pack like an Eberlestock H3 that will last a long time and can be used for vairous things as he gets older. It could be a decent day pack or hunting pack if he's into hunting or will be once he gets older. It has molle webbing all over it so he can add accessory pouches and attach gear as he wants to customize it.
