Louisiana Natural and Scenic River

Pristine piney woods paddling through the heart of southwest Louisiana. Whiskey Chitto winds through longleaf pine forests and hardwood bottoms with white sand beaches, gentle riffles, and some of the clearest water in the state. A Louisiana Natural & Scenic River, its 60-mile run narrows on the upper reach from Oakdale to Mittie and widens with sandbars on the lower creek.

Always check current conditions, scout unfamiliar rapids, and paddle within your skill level. If you spot an error, use the Improve This River button at the top of the page — your local knowledge is what makes this atlas accurate.
