Vivian and Oil City are ideally located between two interstate highways - I-30 to the north and I-20 to the south. Access to these interstate highways is by US Highway 71 and La Highway 1.

To the east of the park is the north-south interstate I-49 which runs from I-10 in southern Louisiana to Kansas City, Missouri.

The Gateway Region is served by three major motor freight carriers and there are numerous motor freight companies in nearby Shreveport.
