We frequent Natchitoches regularly with family. I enjoy popping in and out of all the stores on…read moreFront Street, but this is my favorite. The staff are always super friendly. On our last trip, my teen son went by himself one day and was short a few coins on a purchase. The cashier spotted him. So, we made sure to go back the next day and nab a few souvenirs and gifts. They have an adorable collection of crystal birds. I now have a cute crystal bee hanging above my kitchen sink. They also sell many beautiful scents. Can't go to Natchitoches without bringing home the scent of magnolias. I highly recommend going sometime other than Christmas. The Lights Festival is a blast. Enjoy that. But go again when things are slower, and you can park down by the river and talk with all the shopkeepers.

This is a great little gift shop store. If you're looking for local flavor items such as LSU gear…read moreor Fleur d' Lis items, then this is the place. Plantation Treasures is located on the historic Front Street that borders Cane River Lake. The staff was very friendly. I bought a Fleur d' Lis cheese/butter knife. When I went to check out, the woman at the register said that she wanted to go into the back to pull out a nicer one that didn't any of the sticky stuff that would eventually come off with the price tag. I thought that was really nice. She didn't have to do that at all. She wrapped it in tissue paper too. My Stepmom had to return something the next day. We were running late and would arrive after they had closed for the day (5:00 p.m.). The lady she spoke with on the phone agreed to stay late until we arrived so my Stepmom could make an exchange. Now that's customer service. The funny thing is, we had called earlier that day to see how late they were open. The lady replied that they usually close at 5:00 p.m., but will stay open as long as need be if they are busy.

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!
