Rio, LA

Rio is a tiny rural community tucked into the pine country of Washington Parish, Louisiana, just south of Bogalusa. Home to fewer than 150 residents, it offers quiet living with plenty of wooded acreage and open space. Local students are zoned for Bogalusa schools, and everyday essentials and dining are a short drive up the highway, making Rio well-suited for anyone seeking privacy and a relaxed, small-town pace.
