Tremont Rest Area EB — Local services in Ruston

This is not only a fantastic design for a rest stop but a really good piece of architecture as well. Someone went way beyond the norm to create a wonderful park along with a state of the art facility that anyone would be so comfortable to use.

Soooo THANK YOU to the Good Samaritan who turned in a phone to the...

This was a great place to stop and rest for awhile. We travel a lot and this is one of my favorite rest stops that we’ve been to. The bathrooms are VERY clean. There is also a few private family bathrooms that I appreciated very much for me and my littler ones. The stalls are clean and private, the floors and walls look like they are cleaned daily, no bad bathroom smells, the trash receptacles on the premises are empty. We stopped for lunch here and to stretch our legs. We had plenty of choices for shaded pavilions to eat under and I really enjoyed the pathways that made walking and getting some steps in not only convenient but also enjoyable. Great rest...
