Cane River Creole National Historical Park consists of Oakland Plantation and the outbuildings of Magnolia Plantation. Grounds of both sites are open from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. daily, and self-guiding maps are available on-site.

A guided tour of Oakland Plantation is conducted by a ranger every day at 1:00 p.m. Formal tours of the Magnolia grounds are given only on weekends, at 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
