Grand Ecore Visitor Center, Natchitoches

I had a great time bringing family to see the giant fossil whale head found on the Red River. There are Native American artifacts, exhibitions about the Red River, and a bird identification section. At the back of the museum there is a beautiful overlook of the Red River on top of the Grand Ecore Bluff. There is a little nature trail as well. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I think there could be more items on display, but that's just personal preference.

Fabulous!! Very educational & the views to the river are spectacular. Due to scheduling & COVID, it has been closed the last times I have been here, so such a wonderful treat that it was open today. I would say, "don't miss it!"

It's a wonderful veiw overlooking the Red river. There are many historical information stations in the building. There are a couple show trails that lead to rest areas. Wonderful place to go enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Disgustingly dirty. Outside of building was covered in spiders and webs. Spiders in bathroom. Gentleman inside was very unfriendly. With all the trees in front you could hardly see the river. Needs major work.

This place beautiful. The building has a fabulous wrap around porch with rocking chairs. And the view is amazing. Lots of interesting historical information and videos. I highly recommend a stop here.
