Fullerton Lake Recreation Complex, Kisatchie National Forest
Fall fishing trips and history walks are the sweet spot here. The 1.6-mile Fullerton Mill Trail winds past National Register-listed sawmill foundations, the lake stays calm for trolling motors and canoes, and $15/night is hard to argue with when the heat and humidity finally drop
Camping is currently unavailable, so check before you plan anything overnight. Even when it reopens, no electric hookups or dump station rules out RVers who need services, and the trails get genuinely overgrown, plus reviewers flag gators near the water.

Fall brings the best conditions here. Daytime temperatures run from the mid-50s to upper-70s°F with much lower humidity than summer. Bugs drop off noticeably, and the mixed hardwoods add color to the understory. Summer arrives with Southern heat and humidity. Late June dew points can hit 74°F. Winter mornings turn crisp and frosty, with occasional light snow (about 26% chance during peak weeks). Spring sees the forest green up before the heat sets in. Water activities and shaded trail use peak in fall when crowds thin out.
Described as best season: cooler temps, lower humidity, and hardwood color.
The Fullerton Lake Recreation Complex offers a range of amenities including potable water, picnic tables, fire rings, flush restrooms, trash receptacles, showers, and a newly constructed bathhouse. As of current information, the campground is partially closed, and camping is unavailable. Facilities like the boat launch, pavilion, restrooms, children's playground, and interpretive trail remain open.
