Beaver Dam Campground (Kisatchie National Forest, LA)

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

Beaver Dam Campground is situated on the shores of Upper Caney Lake in the Caney Lakes Recreation Complex, in a beautiful setting among woods, lakes and hills. Swimming, boating, fishing and water skiing are the top activities. Bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill and sandbass can be caught in the lakes. The Sugar Cane National Recreation Trail passes right next to the campground and offers varied terrain for hikers and bikers; it spans 5.7 miles, and the Lost Man Loop adds another 2 miles. Both are open to hiking and mountain biking. The Sugar Cane trail was named for the crop that was once cultivated here, in addition to cotton. Campsites come with electric and water hookups and fit up to eight campers each, while the group picnic area accommodates up to 200 guests. A sanitary dump station, drinking water and flush toilets are provided. Beaver Dam sits at an elevation of 160 feet along the north shore of the 125-acre Upper Caney Lake, with the group picnic area near the 250-acre Lower Caney Lake. Kisatchie National Forest, the only national forest in Louisiana, spans 604,000 acres and mostly consists of bayous with bald cypress groves and old growth pine. The city of Minden has restaurants, shopping and golfing.
