If Louisiana is the Sportsman's Paradise, then Washington Parish is located in the center of action.  Fishing and hunting are available in the Pearl River and Wildlife Management Areas. These locations offer a full range of hunting and fishing activities. A listing of Tourism activities can be found here . Shown below are a few scenes from around the Parish that give a flavor of the many attractions and activities.

Conveniently located in Bogalusa, the Bogalusa Country Club offers members tennis and golf. In addition to the Bogalusa Country Club Course, the Gemstone Plantation Country Club Course is located in Franklinton, and the Jamieson Plantation Golf Course is located on Hwy. 430, just outside Franklinton.

There is always time for a round of golf and good conversation with friends on the eighteen hole course.

The Washington Parish Free Fair is located on beautiful grounds in Historic Franklinton and offers visitors a fantastic experience during October of each year.  However, throughout the year, many activities and events are located on the fairgrounds.

The Mile Branch Settlement is a collection of historic buildings located on the Fair Grounds.  Guided tours offer visitors an informative look at the past, an overview of all pioneer life activities.

An engine and tractor show at the fairgrounds in May 2003 is just one example of the many activities held at the site throughout the year. This picture shows a collection of restored gasoline engines, some of the first used in industrial and farm settings.

The newly completed Bogalusa Sports complex offers public recreation and organized sports that include baseball, soccer, and football.

The Bogalusa little league complex, located adjacent to the airport and industrial park is another of the youth recreational activities available.
