Rain or heat plan

Keep the trip from becoming weather's hostage

  • Use museums, antiques, cafes, and lunch as anchors instead of filler.
  • Save long walks for the coolest dry window, then keep the route compact.
  • Confirm Caddo Lake and outdoor tour policies when storms or wind are in play.

Jefferson advantage

The historic district is compact, so you can switch from a walk to a shop, museum, cafe, or porch without turning the whole day upside down.
