The City of West Monroe is excited to see continued growth and investment happening in our community! Mayor Staci Albritton Mitchell and Fire Chief Daniel Overturf recently had the opportunity to tour a portion of the Lake Latigo development in West Monroe.🦆

Located behind the Ike Hamilton Expo Center, Lake Latigo is a multi-million dollar private development featuring one- and two-bedroom accommodations designed for both short- and long-term stays. In addition to lodging options, the development will soon offer recreational amenities that will be open to the public, including fishing opportunities and colorful paddle boat rentals on Lake Latigo.

A ribbon cutting is planned for mid-June to officially open these amenities and celebrate this exciting addition to West Monroe. Lake Latigo is located at 110 Latigo Lane in West Monroe. For more information, call (318) 355-5304 or visit https://www.lakelatigo.com/

Big things are rolling at the Ike Hamilton Expo Center—and they’re helping us serve our equestrian events even better.🚜

Thanks to a recent grant through the Louisiana Equine Promotion Board, The Ike has added new John Deere Gators to support day-to-day operations and enhance the overall experience for events held at the facility. This program is designed to strengthen Louisiana’s equine industry by supporting tourism, competitions, and equine-related activities across the state.

We’re grateful for the continued partnership of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry and Discover Monroe-West Monroe in making opportunities like this possible.

The Ike remains a key destination for equestrian events in our region, having hosted more than 70 equestrian events between 2022 and 2025.

These shows bring in competitors and visitors from across the country while also making a meaningful impact right here at home—contributing over $5 million in economic impact in 2025 alone.

Investments like this help ensure The Ike continues to provide a high-quality experience for every event, every competitor, and every guest who walks through its doors.
