Experience The Boom

or Bust Byway

Start your journey through the scenic, back road countryside along the Boom or Bust Byway. This byway is the ultimate road trip for international visitors, families, retirees, and young explorers who are looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure. This self-driving tour offers great biking paths, fishing holes, antique shops, local diners, and more.

The Boom or Bust Byway follows Highway 2 and is defined by the Louisiana/Texas border and Hwy. 3049 on the west and Lake Claiborne on the east. The Byway is comprised of four parishes: Caddo, Bossier, Webster, and Claiborne. Navigating through the Boom or Bust Byway creates the opportunity for travelers to enjoy the company of local people, indulge in southern eateries, and attend popular festivals throughout the rural towns while recharging in the peaceful setting only found along our byway.
