About Forest

Located along Highway 17 in West Carroll Parish, Forest is a quiet country village set among the open cotton and soybean fields of northeast Louisiana. It is the kind of small community where everyday life revolves around family farms, local church gatherings, and school events at Forest High. If you are looking for wide-open spaces, a slow pace, and neighbors who know your name, Forest offers a genuinely peaceful place to settle down.
