One of the Finest River Clubs on the Mississippi
Winter Quarters. Among Louisiana sportsmen, the name alone is synonymous with paradise — and opportunities to own a piece of it almost never reach the open market.
This offering is a 1/28 equity ownership share in Winter Quarters Hunting Club: approximately 8,000 acres of Mississippi River land in Tensas Parish, Louisiana, lying between Yucatan and Lake Bruin with access off Louisiana Highway 604 near St. Joseph. This is true ownership in the dirt — not a lease, not an annual membership — in one of the most respected river clubs on the lower Mississippi.
The property is a classic river-batture landscape of mature hardwood timber, sloughs, maintained food plots and four interior lakes, managed year after year by a full-time caretaker. Deer camp, duck blind, turkey woods and bass boat — one tract, all seasons, for the whole family.
“Winter Quarters — a name that is synonymous with paradise.”
Shares in this club rarely change hands. When one does, it is a generational opportunity.

Why the Name “Winter Quarters” Means Something Here
The club takes its name from one of the most historic corners of Louisiana. The nearby Winter Quarters State Historic Site, on Lake St. Joseph just south of Newellton, preserves a plantation home that began as a hunting lodge in 1805 — the only one of the lake’s fifteen antebellum plantations to survive the Civil War’s Vicksburg Campaign. For more than two centuries, this stretch of Tensas Parish river country has been prized as a sportsman’s winter retreat.
That legacy continues today. Between the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge country to the west and the Mississippi River itself on the east, Tensas Parish has produced some of Louisiana’s most storied whitetails — and Winter Quarters Hunting Club sits in the heart of it.
