Cane River Creole NHP

The Cane River Creole National Historical Park is located along the Cane River Lake and includes two French Creole cotton plantations, Oakland and Magnolia. The park features a number of interpretive exhibits and programs as it strives to tell the story of the evolution of plantation agriculture through the perspective of the land owners, enslaved workers, overseers, skilled workers and tenant farmers who resided along the Cane River for over 200 years. In addition to its historical significance, the Cane River Creole National Historical Park is also an important recreational destination, offering opportunities for hiking, picnicking, fishing, and boating.
