Morehouse Parish, Louisiana

Morehouse Parish sits in the northeast corner of Louisiana, right up against the Arkansas border. It’s a place where the South really feels like the South.
Bayou Bartholomew winds through the parish, giving fishermen and nature lovers plenty to explore. Monroe is to the south, but Bastrop’s the heart of Morehouse. It’s also the parish seat.
Folks there are proud of their small-town feel and Southern hospitality. The food’s good too. Yep, they’ve got soul food, Cajun, and country cooking all mix together here. If you’re passing through, take a minute to slow down and soak in the local flavor.
