Frigid Beast Feast Springfield, LA   Dec 11, 2026

The Frigid Beast Feast course on the River Trail will be a 3 mile trail loop. You will run along the river. Poisonous snakes and alligators will be on or around the trail, so be fully aware that we have a lot of creatures out there. There will also be two aid stations: halfway point will be an unman aid station with water, electrolytes, snacks, and ice. The main aid station will be at the start/finish and it will have ice, electrolytes, water, soda, snacks, and fully cooked food.

At Tickfaw State Park, you can go night hiking or listen to the swamp nightlife from the porch of your vacation cabin. Check at the Nature Center for scheduled programs. While there, view the 800-gallon aquarium stocked with fish found in the Tickfaw River. There are also displays featuring the animals, history and culture of the area and of Louisiana.

Strolling through four ecosystems on over a mile of boardwalks through Tickfaw State Park, visitors can experience the sights and sounds of a cypress/tupelo swamp, a bottomland hardwood forest, a mixed pine/hardwood forest and the Tickfaw River.
