"Louisiana Welcome Center, I-10 East, Vinton, LA" Waymark

Long Description:
This Welcome Center is located on the eastbound side of I-10, just past the Sabine River and the Texas border. Brochures from places across the state fill the racks -- they're divided by region. The staff is helpful, always offering free coffee, maps and answers.

The center is located in a rest area, so restrooms are available, as well as picnic areas with covered tables and grills set on a nice lake. At the southeast corner is a short, quarter-mile roundtrip boardwalk that loops through Nature's Nest Swamp along the edge of the lake. This is a good introduction to the swamps of Louisiana.

Boardwalk Trailhead: N30 08.230 W093 40.545

Hours of Operation: Daily 9am-5pm. Public Washrooms: Mens, Womens, Family and Handicapped Snacks/Pop at the facility: Yes - Vending Only
