About Coushatta

Sitting along the east bank of the Red River about 45 miles south of Shreveport, Coushatta serves as the quiet center of Red River Parish. It is a small, easygoing town where daily routines move at a relaxed pace. U.S. Highway 71 runs right through the area, giving residents a direct route north to bigger city amenities, while nearby waterways like Loggy Bayou add to the scenic, rural charm.
