Just a short distance west from the church on State Route 507 where the State Highpoint is located, this quarter mile walk on a road will take you to the second highest point in Louisiana. You can park right off the highway hiking a gated road or drive another dirt road to a pipeline swath just below the summit, waking up from that point. There was once a fire lookout on the top that offered sweeping views but now just the footings remain. A few peek-a-boo views remain.
