Louisiana Office of Tourism Vinton Welcome Center — Attraction in Orange

I stopped at the Louisiana Office of Tourism in Vinton and was genuinely impressed from the moment I pulled in. The grounds were well kept, the rest area felt safe, and everything was clean and inviting. The restrooms were spotless, which is such a relief when you’ve been on the road for hours. The main building was also well maintained, with plenty of space to stretch your legs and browse.

A real treat was the complimentary coffee they offer. It was fresh, hot, and perfect for helping me power through the next leg of my drive. Little touches like that really make travelers feel welcome. From the windows and outside seating area, you get a lovely view of the water, a peaceful pause before getting back on the highway.

There’s also tourism information available, with brochures and maps that highlight local attractions, events, and hidden gems in Louisiana. It’s a perfect place to get ideas for stops along your route. Staff were friendly, and although my visit was short, it was one of the nicest rest stops I’ve seen in a long time. Whether you’re passing through or need a quick break, this place is...

I stopped here at about dawn and it was plenty of parking which was well lit and clean. The image you see that someone else shared are accurate. This place is handicap accessible both from the outside and inside. The lavatory was clean with two urenal and two toilets. There's lots of space to move around inside with multiple entry ways. I'm a make whowas traveling alone so I can only speak on this site from a make prospective. Its safe to stop and take a break, use the restroom and get some fresh air with a great views of trees and a lake. There is Tractor trailer parking for truck drivers and anyone hauling a large load such as a camper or Mobil homes. I recommend taking a break here. Just about five miles away there are other stores and truck stops that serve snacks and provide fuel. I did not see a vending machine inside or outside. Easy to exit the road and easy to enter the road just as you cross into Louisiana from Texas...

After damage from storms & flooding,  the Louisianna Welcome Center at Vinton was  redesigned, rebuilt, & finally  opened  to  visitors.  We eagerly awaited their opening,   after long construction  delays, since the center was  one of the "must" stops made 3 or 4 times a year when we entered Louisianna.  It's  beautifully situated  next to a lake with gorgeous views.   One is allowed to fish which is  neither sanctioned nor condoned by center.  Whereever you are travelling within the state, they have useful information, maps,  tracts on cities & events  on the  many shelves within the  facility.  Also there is a full staff of friendly receptionists to answer any question you might have about Louisianna.    A great place to stop for you, family & friends to picnic,  use clean restrooms, drink cajun coffee, relax and enjoy the magnificent beauty of the Welcome Center & its...
