Black Lake, reservoir in Louisiana, United States
Black Lake is a large reservoir in Natchitoches Parish that serves fishing and recreation. The water features natural shorelines with trees leaning over the surface and open views where local fish populations thrive, making it accessible for both shore and boat-based activities.
Black Lake formed naturally and has been part of the local landscape for many generations. Over time it became central to fishing and outdoor activities for people living in the region.
Access the lake from Black Lake Lodge or Chandler's Camp, both with boat ramps for launching. Water levels are managed seasonally to control plant growth and maintain safe conditions for boating and fishing.
The lake undergoes controlled water level reductions that expose large shore areas and reduce invasive plant growth, mimicking natural lake cycles. This intentional management approach supports healthier fish populations and improves access for visitors.
