Black Lake real estate is a beautiful, but less active, market for lake homes and land in Louisiana.

There are typically very few lake homes for sale on Black Lake, and very few lots and land listings available.

Also called Clear Lake, this lake is one of Louisiana's largest lakes and has 51 miles of shoreline. The closest major airport, Alexandria International Airport, is only 65 miles away.

About Black Lake

Located in Western Louisiana

Black Lake is a large body of water of western Louisiana, adjacent to US-84 and 71. Nearby Natchitoches has the establishment to meet almost any need.

The city is home to Natchitoches Regional Medical Center, Natchitoches Regional Airport, Walmart, hotels, restaurants, parks, etc.

Also Known as Clear Lake

Black Lake is quite a vast expanse, covering roughly 7,000 acres and claiming 6,500 acres of surrounding lands. The lake stretches five miles and reaches widths of almost two miles. Its waters feature many small islands, inlets, and peninsulas.

Crossed by Highway 9, the waters west of the bridge are known as Black Lake, while those east are called Clear Lake.

Recreation with Scenic Views

Surrounded by beautiful cypress trees, Black Lake is home to some of Louisiana's most picturesque waterscape. Whether you are boating, fishing, or relaxing, you will be surrounded by scenic landscapes.

Fishing is Black Lake's most popular sport, with black crappie being its main attraction. Anglers also enjoy reeling in largemouth bass, spotted bass, and channel catfish.

An open stretch east of the Highway 9 bridge is commonly used for water skiing, jet skiing, and other fun water activities.

National Forest and other Fun Attractions

Kisatchie National Forest is Louisiana's largest national forest, covering 604,000-acres. The park is home to 10 campgrounds of different styles. Over 100 miles of trails are provided for hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding.

Less than 100 miles away, Shreveport houses three casinos, an aquarium, a selection of malls, cinemas, and many other attractions.
