Shreveport, Louisiana

Shreveport may be Louisiana’s third most popular city, but it is still considered by many to be a small, underrated city. Located in northwest Louisiana, it boasts friendly citizens, great food, and beautiful green spaces for residents and tourists to wander and explore. The Red River runs through it, offering opportunities for entertainment and exercise. While many tourists visit the city for horse racing, casinos, and the festivals, outdoor recreation abounds for the city’s residents. 

There’s a reason the Shreveport area is known as Sportsman’s Paradise. You can enjoy the natural beauty by driving the famous scenic Boom or Bust Byway, or you can get your hands and feet dirty by hopping on one of the area’s many trails or visiting one of the lakes or wildlife refuges. Cast a line out, float along the river in a kayak, or visit a botanical garden. 

Shreveport also boasts numerous opportunities for residents to connect with others that are focused on health and wellness, from meditation and mindfulness groups to individuals looking to lose weight safely.
