The park is memorable for its upland mixed hardwood forest, enchanting stands of cypress and tupelo trees, and access to a lovely lake. Visitors to Lake Bistneau State Park will be pleasantly surprised by the recreational opportunities that abound here. The park maintains two boat launches, two swimming pools, miles of multiuse trails, playgrounds, miles of equestrian trails, and a variety of lodging options.
Those with an interest in water sports will find this an idyllic setting for swimming, boating, and fishing. Ardent fishermen can expect to catch a variety of native fish. These include black crappie, largemouth bass, yellow bass, catfish, bluegill, and red-ear sunfish.
Lake Bistineau has a significant history. The lake emerged over 200 years ago when several thousand acres of land became flooded due to a gigantic log jam in the Red River. Gradually, as the area was dredged, the lake began to drain. In 1935, a permanent dam was built across Loggy Bayou, creating Lake Bistineau. The dam has been enlarged over the years. Today guests will find a reservoir with 26.9 square miles of surface area and an average depth of seven to 25 feet.
Lake Bistineau State Park maintains several lodging options. The park offers 67 camp sites that can accommodate RV’s up to 62-feet in length. The park also offers cabins for rent and maintains space for group camping.
