2 towers located within a half mile of each other, so I decided to waymark them together. Both easy to climb. The Fort Desperate was in the grounds pretty far, and was a really nice and scenic hike. The other (closed on my visit day) is located at the Museum building.
Here is the State website for the Port Hudson Battlefield complex here.
