Such a nice treat, and I'll definitely be back to get another chocolate chip cookie at the Cane River Kitchenware. I love your store full of beautiful kitchenware, coffee, and oils, and it's one place I can find exactly what I've been looking for.

Cane River Lake was perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding and hydro biking. It was so calm. They don't have a computerized system for registering guests nor did they have a separate person making snowballs, so when they were really busy, the line got backed up. I think there are only a couple or a few hydrobikes and I think only a couple mirage oasis boats. On the first day, my husband and daughter rented 2 hydrobikes and went out on the water for an hour. They loved those and had fun. For the last day we were there, my husband and I went out on the mirage oasis (for 2) and my daughter went paddle boarding for the first time. We initially went out for 1-hour, but they were close to shutdown time, so we added another 1/2 hour. Prices range for $15-25 per half to 1-hour. On the last day, it was nice on the river because there was a bit of an overcast, so the sun wasn't beating down on us and it wasn't too hot either. The staff was really nice, too! If you want some yummy snowballs... they have a lot of yummy flavors. When they're busy, they should have a separate line for snowballs and rentals. Overall, my family had a great experience!

All other burgers wish they could be half as amazing as the Ruth burger. I'm amazed that Guy Fieri hasn't heard of this closely guarded secret deep in the backwoods of Louisiana. I first had one when I was about 16 and I dreamed about it until I was 25 and could go back for another. I've had burgers everywhere from Maine to Bahrain and nothing comes close to these juicy, heavenly, flavorful sandwiches. If you have the means you need to go there and buy two!
