Each month the good folks at Louisiana State Parks send us a listing of information for all the programs taking place at park properties during the month to come. The January calendar contains dozens of programs, ranging from dutch oven-cooking demonstrations to guided birdwatching hikes. So don't spend this time of year indoors; visit the wide open spaces cared for by the State Parks system. Here is a small sampling of adventures on offer.
