Louisiana's Other Side is an interesting mix of modern convenience and natural beauty, so you get a chance to enjoy outdoor fun without having to stray too far. Louisiana is a sportsman's paradise, and Shreveport-Bossier City is the hub of exciting outdoor adventures. Our convenient location straddling the Red River means water sports are plentiful during warm months, while Cross Lake offers a postcard-perfect vision of romance, fun, and relaxation for an afternoon on its shores.
Gather family and friends for a cookout at Cypress Lake, or take a dreamy stroll along the Red River. Climb aboard a river cruise and take a lazy ride on the river – come with your favorite pals or your special someone. You'll be entertained as well as educated about the local area. Take an outdoor workshop at Bass Pro Shops and learn the latest tricks, or just pack your things and head out for some of the best fishing you'll find anywhere.
Slather on the sunscreen and grab your clubs, because we've got excellent golf courses. Try Hal Sutton's signature course, Olde Oaks Golf Club, Fred Couples' signature course, The Golf Club at StoneBridge or any of our other fine courses. When you're on Louisiana's Other Side, you're never far off course.
