DeSoto Parish, Louisiana

DeSoto Parish sits in the northwestern corner of Louisiana, brushing up against Texas. It’s Cajun country, but with a twist. The parish seat, Mansfield, saw some action during the Civil War.
These days, it’s all about that small-town charm. Folks here know their neighbors and aren’t shy about waving hello.
You’ll find rolling hills and dense forests, a far cry from the swamps folks picture when they think of Louisiana. On weekends, locals flock to Toledo Bend Reservoir for some primo fishing.
