[4] Bogue Chitto is a relatively recent addition to the Louisiana State Park system.

[2] Bogue Chitto State Park has a visitors center, a conference room, picnic pavilions, and a lodge overlooking a 90-foot (27 m) bluff.

There is a canoe launch into the Bogue Chitto River, fishing piers, an amphitheater, and a water playground.

Bogue Chitto is also home to a moderately difficult 18 hole disc golf course, winding through hilly wooded terrain.

Notable physical features are small streams, cypress-tupelo swamps, and both upland and bottomland hardwood forests.
