The Evangeline Unit in the Calcasieu District of Kisatchie National Forest offers a range of scenic and recreational experiences that make it an ideal spot for nature lovers and photographers alike. Located in Rapides Parish, this area combines the tranquility of pine forests with diverse outdoor amenities. Visitors can explore the day-use area, relax on a sandy beach, or capture the scenic views along the waterfront where boat ramps provide easy access for anglers and paddlers.
For hiking enthusiasts, the Kincaid Loop Trail currently spans about 6 miles, offering a journey through lush forested terrain that’s recovering from recent tornado damage. The trail features a mix of open and shaded sections, perfect for capturing natural textures and light contrasts along the path. The campgrounds—Sites A & B for RVs, along with primitive campsites—provide even more opportunities to enjoy and photograph the quiet beauty of the forest, especially during early morning and golden hour. Whether you're here for the trails, camping, or a peaceful day by the lake, the Evangeline Unit offers a dynamic landscape that highlights the rugged, untouched beauty of Kisatchie National Forest.
