Ruston is a wonderful, quiet, safe, cute little town.

No crime. No traffic. Nice people.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

I don’t get the downvotes. That’s a trip down memory lane for me.

Moon’s for a good steak and BYOB drinks.

ETA: A little out of the way and in the middle of nowhere, but a good time if you have a group.

Lincoln Parish Park has a darned good 10 mile mountain bike trail, plus picnic areas, a short walking trail, and a fishing and swimming hole.

Good grief. They’re certainly in no hurry to get it up and going. The construction has been going on forever.

Nothing

Or you could try driving around after 11 pm and see how many times you get pulled over. The Ruston police have a "you must be drunk if you are out past 10 pm" mentality and everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

But for real the Lincoln Parish Park is awesome, biking/walking/camping.

Sundown is the place locals gather to drink beer and eat, I've gotten hammered in their over 100 times easily. I know the grouchy owner Bruce pretty well.

Portico is the new hip place - LINK /


Don't drink and drive the cops are terrible

Not really much of a compliment.

This thread is depressing. Apparently the best things to do in Ruston are eat chain pizza, grab a turkey sandwich, or watch Louisiana Tech play FIU.

It’s not completely crime ridden or impoverished.

It's not a great city to visit or for tourism.

But it is a great small city/town to live in. Good schools, not bad in crime, clean, alot of small local business and local amenities. Also one of the higher income per capita towns in Louisiana.

Ruston has quite a few non chain restaurants that are good, especially for its size town.
