Good forOutdoor lovers
A spring-fed sand-bottomed creek that runs through the southern edge of Vernon Parish into Beauregard, and the best tubing-and-canoeing water in western Louisiana. Whiskey Chitto flows clear enough to see the bottom in most stretches, with sandbar beaches for swimming and overnight camping. The name is a Choctaw corruption — Oski Chito, meaning big cane — and the canebrakes along the banks are still there. Local outfitters run shuttle trips from Mittie and Pickering.
