There is plenty to see in Ruston Louisiana! One place is Lincoln Parish Park. This is a great place to fish and has a nice walking path to enjoy this park and all its beauty. You can sit and picnic by the pretty lake and just enjoy yourself!
Ruston Farmers Market! This opens April 14th and is on Saturday’s from 8 am to noon. As a tourist looking for local flavor, it makes your visit more authentic. Folks don’t travel to Italy looking for good burritos. Lots of good food and people!

Great question! Food is a big thing when traveling! I love to sample everything! Roma Italian Bistro sounds like a great place to start! This is an Italian cafe that has reasonably priced food and they give you big portions.
