Kepler Lake, lake of the United States of America
Kepler Lake is a reservoir in Bienville Parish formed when a creek was dammed, creating a shallow body of water surrounded by forest and cypress trees. The lake contains numerous submerged stumps and fallen timber that structure the waterway and support fish populations.
The lake was formed in 1957 when a creek was dammed, creating an extensive body of water in Bienville Parish. The dam project served the dual purpose of flood control and water storage for surrounding communities.
Fishing is available year-round, with spring being especially productive when many species move to spawn. Visitors should use available boat ramps, stay alert to submerged stumps and fallen trees, and wear life jackets when boating.
A rookery on the lake hosts dozens of nesting herons and egrets in the cypress trees, especially active during breeding season. The lake is fed by underground springs that keep the water notably cooler and clearer than similar lakes in the region.
