As the prime consultant on this project, we developed a master plan for Bogue Chitto State Park, in Washington Parish, LA. The 1,800-acre park is home to a variety of wildlife and vegetation. We conducted several public meetings, including a three-day on-site design charrette with the community and elected officials. Additionally, our team prepared and presented extensive programming and analysis of the site’s unique opportunities and limitations to the public through a series of workshops. The community's input informed the design concepts and the final master plan. Features of the park include an extensive trail system, overnight cabins, a day use area, RV area, group camping facility, gorge interpretive area, and visitor center. Activities include canoeing, fishing, hiking, birding, biking, and picnicking.
