Shreveport makes for a seriously fun few days — great Cajun food, scenic trails, fresh seafood, and plenty of local character. From the East Bank District to the river and beyond, there's more to this corner of Louisiana than most people expect.

BeauxJax Crafthouse is a lively Cajun restaurant and bar in Bossier City's East Bank District, known for authentic Louisiana comfort food and handcrafted cocktails. We had the Game Day Nachos and Cajun Hibachi, both very yummy!
The Remington Suite Hotel & Spa is a chic, charming Shreveport stay where every room has its own unique theme. Ours was the Tiffany suite — elegant doesn't begin to cover it.
The Arthur Ray Teague Running Trailhead is a great outdoor stop for hiking, biking, running, or just slowing down and taking it all in. We had a lot of fun walking the trail and spotting wildlife along the way!
The oysters here are delicious and of great quality. We also had the snow crab, which was super yummy!
