It’s literally one of the most fascinating sites in the entire Americas. Go check it out before the hipsters tip everyone off to it

Not so fun fact: Many of the mounds in this state were destroyed by the highway department for road fill in the early twentieth century.

Yeah I think if you’re a nerd about this stuff then it’s a must see. If you’re not then skip it. No harm no foul.

It’s a World Heritage Site

I always wanted to see these when I was about 3 and 4 years old. Hell, I still wish I could see them now with her damn near 80 years old.

My parents grew up there. My dad used to go out and collect Indian artifacts after they had plowed. He said there would be stuff all over the ground once the soil was turned. He used to have a pizza box filled with his favorite finds from childhood. If you travel up Hwy. 61 there are signs for mounds up and down the river on both sides.

I’m assuming he still has them in his attic somewhere. Most of what he had were these clay balls they made with grooves in the side. It is believed they would heat these up in a fire and then retrieve them with 2 sticks slid along the grooves and drop into a pot of water to bring to boil. He had some spearheads too.

Yep…LA 65 is the same way….Indian mounds every 20 miles.

took a group of juniors and seniors up there during the summer for an Ag lab credit. It wasn't bad at all. I remember someone played a fake black bear sound during one of the hikes and didn't warn any of the counselors (me and three others). I had been to N. LA before, and knew nothing of interest happened there, so panic level was 0.
This must have been a thing for all groups and they liked scaring the ever living shite out of people. I went to a camp there with 4-H back in the mid 90s. We had a night hike and came upon a couple of black bears. It sounded legit. One thing I couldn’t understand and made me laugh it off was the Ranger with us had a gun but didn’t use it.

The mounds in LA are the oldest known man made structures in the western hemisphere.

All I can add is that we camped at the state park. Enjoyed it.

Delhi, La
hometown of Earl Holliman!!!!
He was born there. Spent most of his childhood bouncing around East Texas and North West Louisiana. He briefly lived in Shreveport and finished high school in Oil City. Oil City even has a sign claiming Earl Holliman as their own when you enter the city limits or at least they used to.
