Chicot State Park

       Fishing, swimming, camping, picnicking, hiking--Chicot has all this and more. 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 catches of largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and red-ear sunfish. Fishermen will enjoy the convenient boathouse, three boat launches and boat rental facilities.
     Chicot also boasts a unique combination of natural resources on land.  Mature hardwood uplands and extensive beech-magnolia forest areas add to the beauty of the cypress-tupelo forested lake environment. Large numbers of deer, raccoon and other wildlife live in the surrounding woods.  A birding guide to Chicot State Park is also available for bird watchers.  The 300-acre Louisiana State Arboretum, an areas devoted to living, natural exhibition of over 150 species of plant life native to Louisiana, is located adjacent to the main entrance		 Chicot State Park - Cabins
