Arcadia is a small town in North Louisiana and the parish seat of Bienville Parish. At 384 feet above sea level, Arcadia has the highest elevation of any town in the state of Louisiana. About 15 miles south lies Driskill Mountain, the highest point in Louisiana. For U.S. highpointers, Arcadia is usually a stopping point before or after taking the drive down to Driskill, as it is the closest town.
The only way to get to Arcadia is by car. No public transportation goes to or from this city. It is possible to take rideshare services to Arcadia from Shreveport or Bossier City, but would likely be very expensive.
Interstate 20 passes through the northern edge of town from west to east. Shreveport is to the west, while Ruston is to the east.
US Highway 80 passes directly through the center of Arcadia, and also connects with Shreveport and Ruston. This route is generally used if wanting to cross northern Louisiana at a slower pace.
Louisiana Highway 147 enters Arcadia from the southeast and is generally used by visitors going to and from Driskill Mountain.
