Monroe-West Monroe, twin cities straddling the Ouachita River, are a surprisingly lively getaway for families. You can paddle along six different water trails, grab lunch along the river, or get up close with the Duck Dynasty family at the Duck Commander attraction. Seafood nachos on the Ouachita are a must-try, and the riverfront really sets the scene for a relaxing yet fun weekend. Downtown West Monroe, known as Antique Alley, is a treasure trove of boutiques, antique shops, and local eateries. Events like the Ouachita RiverFest—complete with live duck races, a six-story Mama Duck, and local music—keep the area buzzing. Monroe’s Main Street adds coffee shops, bakeries, bars, and the River Market, where you can meet local artists and pick up one-of-a-kind finds. Outdoor lovers will enjoy Kiroli Park and Forsythe Park, offering trails, gardens, tennis courts, and native plants. Together, the Twin Cities mix history, small-town charm, and plenty of quirky, riverfront fun. #americasfavoritesmalltowns
