Beautiful place to visit. Loved the home we stayed in. Cane River is beautiful. Birds & fish& Turtles plentiful. Id recommend this place & area.Food was fabulous. Stores cutePlace where Steel MagnoliasWas filmed. Id really give this a 10

Very quaint town. Loved the architecture and history! Will definately plan a vacation to return and visit longer.

Lights were perfect tonight along with the decorations. The scenery was absolutely fantastic !

Great experience and the music was amazing. Beautiful Christmas decorations and light.

A very nice Boardwalk along the cane River. They have a large Pavilion you can sit in with overhead fans and comfy chairs. Nice place to while away sometime.

Amazing went to enjoy the christmas fireworks, and the food there was amazing! Would be happy to go back again next year!!

The evening was great. The temperature was on the 70°Fs and fantastic. Ate by the river park. Lots of history to see. You wont be disappointed.

We went to the firework show and Christmas lighting it was beautiful

Very beautiful place to go. Everyone is extremely friendly

So pretty! Great place for tourists to stretch legs.

Pretty and pleasant. Great day to visit as it was nice and quiet. Took us all of about 20 minutes to see it all. Certainly not a spend the day kind of place. Plenty of opportunities to part with money though. Maybe fun during events, but I dont intend to find out as traffic was bad on a slow day and parking would be a nightmare.

Kinda expensive for food, but overall was a great trip... the firework display was amazing!

I love it. So beautiful and relaxing.

Plenty to do and see. Come by during one of the festivals, participate in a dragon boat race, or just take a relaxing stroll along the bank. Beautiful place!

Beautiful scenery and ambiance. Great with events and festivals.

Everything was lovely! It was peaceful, saw ducks, recieved a horse carriage ride around the beautiful historic sites, and topped it off with dinner at Maglieauxs! We didnt get a chance but there are water rentals available along with snow cones!

Just go and I dont think you be disappointed

I got blinded by the Lights.. oooooooo

We went Nov. 17. Not as many lights as I had imagined. We had a good time. Weather was nice too. Wasnt too crowded. The fireworks show was the best I have ever seen.

Loved going the last night! Had the park to ourselves. Lights were beautiful as always ands it was awesome to see the new ones that have been added since we were last there.

Went to see the lights festival not impressed Ive seen better lights on homes in my neighborhood.

This is a beautiful little town. Pretty churches, big old homes, sprawling trees, and Front Street with a French vibe similar to New Orleans, but without the extreme crowds. Great places to eat, nice people, just a pleasant place to visit. The mercantile store has anything you can imagine and if you are looking for a part to something that you think doesnt exist anymore, you might find it there. Sorry I couldnt provide more photos.

Simply beautiful for a stroll in the sun or moonlight

I was there at night. It was peaceful, beautiful and clean.

Its home very bellisimo. Enjoyed a very warm day with the family.

Absolutely perfection. The most relaxing and beautiful place Ive visited here in Louisiana

Beautiful place to take a walk along the river

Great place to enjoy time with loved ones.

Neat new outdoor pavilion right next to Cane River. There are a few small tables and chairs along the railing and under the pavilion....we took a picnic and enjoyed feeding the fish and ducks.

So beautiful and a nice place to visit!!!!

Love the riverbank this time of year, natchitoches Christmas Festival!

Beautiful town with an awesome history.

Natchitoches delivers every Christmas. Beautiful, family friendly, and great food. My only complaint is the food it a little too expensive. A funnel cake $7, nachos $10. Food is good, but City needs to charge vendors a little less so they can give decent prices to public.

So beautiful.

Great time! Music sites sounds food fireworks! So much excitement and it is only 8pm. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Our kids enjoy trips down the riverbank to feed the ducks & geese & also ride their hoover-boards.

Great spot for NSU Senior pictures.

Great area for a piece of mind.

Great fireworks for the 4th!

I love this place! It brought back childhood memories.

Very nicely reconstructed. Need LED lighting on the stairs and along walkways, and to find the handicapped switchback. Well done, Natchitoches.

River front has changed a lot since I was young, but it is very nice now.

Awesome! Food was great and the locals very friendly! Spending the day in the oldest town in Louisiana was outstanding!

Beautiful town.

My family and I went during a festival, but even though we went during the meat pie festival we thought the area was really nice. Definitely going to go NBA look and experience the area.

Awesome! Looks beautiful can even canoe

It was good

Beautiful place

This place is awesome. They do a wonderful job with the Riverfront

It was stunning beautiful. The lights lit the night with romance.

Nice atmosphere with plenty to see. Cane River Lake is beautiful and the shops are really fun when theyre open. Double check hours though because they are often closed. Great place to visit for annual Christmas Festival.

Great atmosphere and amazing food. Worth trying!

I went to school in Natchitoches many years ago. I love visiting the area when I go there. I was very surprised to see the upgrade. I love the new stage. The flowers were beautiful. They even have a walk way. I do appreciate that they kept the old Roque House.

For the money they spent on the river bank it should look better then it does and they should leave the restrooms open past 9pm

This place was absolutely beautiful! Its the kind of place you thought only existed in the movies. Once you go, you never wanna leave.

Good place to visit. I visit when I am home.

Renovations over the past few years included a pavilion, shoreline dock and seating, sidewalks and even a paddlewheel excursion

Charming. Friendly, lazy river, well maintained park, special events, farmers market and more. In a beautiful, historic town, this is just one more reason to visit this hard to spell place. Southern hospitality abounds in spades you are surrounded by history, flowers (yes, there are magnolias), and fine foods.

Nice clean and pretty! I wish more shops were open on Sunday.

Awesome displays

Its so pretty it has food stands too

Everything is so beautiful. The only thing I am think is outrageous is the price of the use of the area where the water fountain is. 1000 dollars is too much for the outside use. The Ben Johnson Auditorium is 600 and u have access to kitchen bathrooms, etc. We pay taxes in this city. All these prices that has been put on Gods outside air and space is unreal. If anybody want to get married outside they will do better by getting married in their back yard.

Pretty lights relaxing stroll along the river.

The Christmas Lights Festival is a must see. I went on the day of the Christmas Parade. The parade was at least 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours and had bands, unique floats, and entertainment. They throw candy and beads. The shops on the riverfront provide fun shopping along with vendors set up just off the main road. The fireworks start promptly at 6. They are beautiful and are set to music. When they end the lights come on across the bank. The cost is $10.00 to enter the festival. Parking is $10 to $15.

I spent a wonderful day here with friends visiting some fun stores and walking along the river. Steel Magnolias was filmed here and it was fun to see these scenes.

Beautiful place for weddings and events. The stage has wonderful area for eating lunch by cane river. The restaurants are in walking distance and the restrooms are clean and the family restroom is great for parents who may leary of letting a small one go to the restroom alone.

Great location

It was a awesome experience!!!! Beautiful fireworks, awesome band. My daughter, grandchildren, a couple of friends, and my self. We danced, enjoyed the music,food and fireworks! Great family fun!!!! Will definitely go again!!!

Such a fun night. Music and great food

All of the constitution made such a nice difference, they did a great job. Concerts and shows will be so much better now. Great Job!!!

Weather was great and the lights on the riverbank were amazing. We walked the river and up and down Front street for over an hour. The smells of food from the vender carts and all the lights and music really helped get everyone in the Christmas spirit.

Absolutely beautiful. Downtown brick roads beautiful scenery landscaped all along the river. Worth the detour!!!

Loved the way it has been upgraded the scenery is so beautiful

I visit the riverwalk regularly. The city puts on many events throughout the year that are awesome and family- friendly. This morning was the Natchitoches Farmers Market. There were multiple vendors and live music.

Family friendly. Beautiful Christmas lights. Had snow made with soap bubbles that the kids really enjoyed. Live music. Lots of food options. Parking was horrible. Had to park many blocks away and no sidewalk for kids and stroller.

Went there for Christmas lights and fireworks loved it. Very clean nice place with lots for kids to do and plenty of food. Fireworks were amazing for a small town and lights are always good.

It is a landmark in natchitoches it is so beautiful

Beautiful decorations for the fall season. Nice wide walking path. Its Nov 21st and the Christmas Lights are turned on at dark every night. Come and visit!

Just a all around great spot located in the middle of historic downtown Natchitoches. Me and my son go there all the time if there is a event or not. We like to just hang out and enjoy our surrondings

Tons of fun and great shops with awesome food!

Natchitoches is a wonderful to stay along with great Christianly people who live here..such an amazing place!!!!I just wish all the streets were fixed especially in Payne Subdivision and they need lots of street lights n need fire hydrates and other communities as well...

Very beautiful,,,, wish i could have gone on the tour of the homes when they filmed Steel Magnolias. Going to plan another trip there just for that.

Interesting parish, lots of history, horse driven carriage driver is knowledgeable.

Awesome lights to see fun times

Such a unforgettable place️

This area has potential. The city, however, needs a more progressive vision in order to realize it, which means new leadership. That implies the citizens need to push for a paradigm shift in its town ways by becoming more involved in government and less on the trivia the city government offers. This area was recently renovated and now provides a very nice park to walk through but is still missing out on points-of-interest or some sponsored entertainment. The city government leaders are corrupt and needs to be checked for this area to blossom to its potential. The fake city laws the city leaders use (mayor & chief) cause irreversible injuries that damage the heart of this city. This is an important citizen concern for everyone. Many citizens just blindly follow these corrupt leaders and their unlawful pursuits. What can be the future for this city? The major interstate has already by-passed which leaves only a rickety narrow bridge into town.

Huge improvements have been made in recent years. They still have a ways to go, tonbe compared to such towns like Fredericksburg, Tx.

Beautifully landscaped. Lots of entertainment and action take place here! Can also be quiet and serene. The heart of Natchitoches.

Been in Natchitoches Parish all my life, but downtown is one place that just doesnt get old to me. So beautiful and relaxing! So many of my family memories were made down there by the river.

Lot of changes but beautiful. Loved it.

So pretty and quaint! The holiday lights are absolutely fabulous. Shops are a little dated, but just fine to wander through.

Always beautiful!! Lotsa shops and general city pride. We always have a great time and are made to feel welcome no matter what time of year we visit.

More beautiful and more colorful lights.

Its improving alot.its peaceful and I love to go a browse around.its awsome

It was spotless clean. It was beautiful! We will go back.

Lived here almost all my life Christmas holidays on the river bank is always beautiful since the remodeling its beautiful yr round

Hometown. Scenery is nothing unusual

Great veiw. Peaceful. Good place to relax and think.

They have renovated the riverbank area recently and did a great job. Perfect place for music, food and festivals (which it plays host to numerous times a year).

Its pretty but kinda boring
