Lake D'Arbonne is 15,250-acre man-made reservoir located near the town of Farmerville in north Louisiana in a quiet, isolated rural area.
The lake was created in 1963 and is surrounded by Lake D’Arbonne State Park. The park is a popular place to hike, camp, fish, and watch nature.
There are 58 campsites, 16 cabins, and two lodges. A network of hiking trails weaves throughout the park, with the four main ones marked as Orange, Green, White, and Blue.
Boats and canoes are available for rent by the day or hour. There is also a tennis court, and Lake D’Arbonne State Parke is the only State Park in Louisiana that has one. Mixed hardwood and pine forests are teeming with wildlife.
