Freestate-North Highlands - Shreveport, LA Area Guide

Part of the Freestate-North Highlands area sits next to downtown Shreveport close to the action, but the area extends out roughly six miles from downtown into quiet neighborhoods along the Red River. Locals head into downtown for entertainment and often for work, but the area hosts its own collection of shopping and dining options, clustered near North Market Street. The offerings include fried delights, BBQ, and a bit of cajun spice. On the weekends, boaters, fishermen, and sunbathers head to Cross Lake. Just a couple of miles away from the Freestate-North Highlands area, this 8,575 acre lake also draws hikers, diners, and shoppers who want to wile away the weekend, thanks to its cypress forests, antique shops, and eateries.
