Highest Point in Louisiana – Driskill Mountain
Driskill Mountain is the highest natural point in Louisiana, with an elevation of 535 feet. Located in Bienville Parish in the northern part of the state, it is technically classified as a “landform” created by the erosion of Paleogene sediment. Unlike the sidewalk-based high point in Delaware, Driskill Mountain actually feels like a hike; a well-marked trail leads through a pine and hardwood forest to the summit, where visitors find a large pile of rocks (a cairn) and a registry box. While it is the third-lowest state high point in the U.S., the surrounding rolling hills provide a surprisingly wooded and secluded atmosphere compared to the coastal bayous most people associate with the state.
