Bayou D’Arbonne Lake

North Louisiana's Union Parish has the town of Farmerville and the Lake D'Arbonne reservoir. It is a well-known artificial fishing location with a total approximate area of 15,250 acres that is isolated in a rural area (62 km2). The idea for the lake first emerged in 1957. The Louisiana Department of Public Works constructed the 2450-foot concrete dam in 1961, and the lake that resulted from it began to take shape in 1963. Lake D'Arbonne State Park is a campground and recreational facility operated by the state.

The main draw for fishermen at Bayou D'Arbonne Lake is the crappie; it's regarded as one of the top lakes in the nation for the species. Catfish, bass, perch, panfish, and bream are additional fish species in the lake that are frequently sought after. Despite the fact that crappie is the main target, a fifteen-pound lake record bass was retrieved from the waters in 2000. Water skiers and pleasure boaters enjoy the wide open parts of the lake, which is roughly seven miles from the park. Outdoor enthusiasts have access to all of these possibilities thanks to the park's boat launch.
