About this destination
Lake Bistineau is a 17,200-acre reservoir located in Webster, Bienville, and Bossier Parishes in northwestern Louisiana. It was created in 1800s when a log jam on the nearby Dorcheat River caused flooding and created the lake. The lake is known for fishing and recreation, including boating, camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing. It is home to a rich variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish. The lake also provides a habitat for various bird species, such as bald eagles, great blue herons, and ospreys.
