Chicot State Park

Chicot State Park is situated in Louisiana's Evangeline Parish, named after Lake Chicot, the largest natural lake in the state, formed over 1,000 years ago by a meander of the Mississippi River. The park is characterized by its cypress swamps, hardwood forests, and a variety of wildlife, reflecting the area's Acadian heritage. At Chicot State Park, visitors can engage in activities such as fishing, hiking, and camping. The park offers several miles of trails, picnic areas, and a boat launch for access to Lake Chicot. Parking is available on-site, providing a tranquil setting for those looking to connect with nature. As conditions and access may change, it's important to confirm hours, fees, and closures with the managing state agency before your visit.
