Kisatchie National Forest covers 600,000 acres and spreads over five central Louisiana districts. Kisatchie Hills Wilderness Area is a small part of the national forest and is adjacent National Red Dirt Wildlife Management Preserve. Here, there are excellent panoramic views from a high ridge that runs through the Longleaf Vista Complex. A nature trail drops down from this ridge into the Little Grand Canyon. The wilderness is better known as a wildlife viewing and camping district, with ten camping areas ranging in amenities. Four trails are established for hiking and horseback riding, with some okay for all terrain vehicles. Kisatchie National Forest is the only preserve in the Pelican State.
