Lake Bistineau State Park, State park along Lake Bistineau in Webster Parish, United States

Lake Bistineau State Park spans 750 acres of mixed hardwood forest with open waters, cypress trees, and multiple recreational facilities along the western shore.

The lake formed naturally in 1800 due to a Red River log jam, leading to flooding, and in 1935 a permanent dam construction established the current water body.

In the park's early days, it pioneered integration among Louisiana state parks, with separate areas reflecting the historical progression toward desegregation.

The park provides two boat launches, multiple camping options, seven deluxe cabins sleeping eight people each, and nearly ten miles of woodland trails for visitors.

An 11-mile canoe trail winds through the park's waterways, allowing paddlers to navigate among ancient cypress trees and observe diverse wildlife species.
