The name Chicot come from the French meaning stump. And you will see about a zillion of them during your paddle. Lake Chicot is located in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana and came into being in the winter of 1942-1943 when a dam across Chicot Bayou was closed and the water was allowed to rise flooding the area of about 2000 acres. At the spillway the lake averages about 7 feet. The channel has an average depth of about 11 feet.
Most of the basin was originally a cypress-tupelo gum swamp an woody vegetation consisted mainly of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) and tupelo gum (Nyssa aquatica) The park covers over 6,400 acres of rolling hills and water in South Central Louisiana. The cool, clear waters of Lake Chicot have yielded record freshwater catches of large mouth bass, crappie, bluegill and red-ear sunfish. Fishermen will enjoy the convenient boathouse, three boat launches and boat rental facilities.
