Review & FAQ:
Cane River Lake is a 35-mile long and up to 250 feet wide oxbow lake in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, and it is a portion of the Red River.
The lake runs throughout the historic Natchitoches district and is surrounded by many large plantations. The most famous is Melrose or Yucca plantation.
The lake was created by a natural dam formed by a large log jam. This beautiful, narrow, meandering body of water is very popular among fishermen and is great fun exploring in a kayak or canoe.
Surrounding banks are dense with greenery and large trees, teeming with birds and wildlife.
