LAKE D'ARBONNE

Lake D'Arbonne was constructed in the early 1960's when the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development constructed a dam and spillway across Bayou D'Arbonne. 

Recreation on Lake D'Arbonne is tremendously popular among locals and visitors, and record freshwater catches of bass, crappie, catfish and bream make Lake D'Arbonne a fishing haven.

Lake D’Arbonne is a reservoir located in Union Parish in north Louisiana. Isolated in a rural area, it is a popular man-made fishing area that has a combined estimated area of 15,250 acres. 

CHICOT LAKE

Lake Chicot is a lake adjacent to the Mississippi River. The lake is located on the east side of Lake Village, Arkansas in Chicot County. It is the largest oxbow lake in North America, as well as the largest natural lake in Arkansas.

At 20 miles long, Lake Chicot is also the largest natural lake in Arkansas.

The name Chicot, French for "stumpy," refers to the many cypress stumps and trees along the lake banks.

Its beautiful waters are a favorite with anglers throughout the year.

CHAMPIONSHIP - TOLEDO BEND RESERVIOR

JUNE 26-27, 2026

Toledo Bend Reservoir is a reservoir on the Sabine River between Texas and Louisiana. The lake has an area of 185,000 acres (750 km2), the largest man-made body of water partially in both Louisiana and Texas, the largest in the South, and the fifth largest by surface acre in the United States. The dam is capable of generating 92 megawatts of electrical power. The dam itself is located in the northeast corner of Newton County, Texas; however, that county includes very little of the reservoir, as most of it extends northward into parts of Sabine and DeSoto parishes in Louisiana, and Sabine, Shelby, and Panola counties in Texas.
