Great news!  The beach area and Marina will be open starting Saturday, May 25, 2019!!  Thank you!

With Memorial weekend coming, we want to remind everyone that the lake level is still higher than normal and there is still some floating debris.  Please use caution!  Also, some of the wildlife around the lakes have been flushed out of their natural habitats due to the high water.  We ask that you leave them alone and DO NOT cause any danger to them.  If you need to, you can call Wildlife and Fisheries in Minden at 318 371-3050 to report them.  Thank you!

Boating on Cypress and Black Bayou must always be carried out in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE fashion. That is port-side, meaning that the shore is to your right. PLEASE use extra caution on Black Bayou because the lake narrower.
