With so many incredible, beautiful lakes in Louisiana, we just couldn’t pick our favorites…so we asked our readers on our Only in Louisiana Facebook Page, and boy did they deliver! We polled our readers asking what they thought the most beautiful lake in Louisiana was and we got nearly 200 responses! Thank you to everyone who submitted a photo or posted cherished memories, we loved reading through all of the responses. Without further adieu, and in no particular order, here are some of the most beautiful lakes in Louisiana, according to our readers:
- Sunrise on Lake Monterey
Mindy Champlin-Camp/Only In Louisiana Thanks to Mindy Champlin-Camp for submitting this sensational sunrise over Lake Monterey. Sunrises like this are worth waking up early, that’s for sure! Monterey, LA, USA
- Lake Bruin Sunset
Josh Fett/Only In Louisiana Of course, if you’d rather let the early bird catch the worm and hit the snooze button, the sunsets at Lake Bruin are just dazzling. Thanks to Josh Fett for capturing this serene scene. Lake Bruin, LA 71357, USA
- Toledo Bend
Brandi Jo Loetscher/Only in Louisiana Oh, Toledo Bend, how do we love thee? With two state parks, that’s how. Brandi Jo Loetscher captured this magical moment and we can’t stop looking at it. Toledo Bend Reservoir, United States
- Tew Lake, Catahoula Parish
Vincent Fouchi Jr./Only in Louisiana This little fishing hole near Jonesville is one of those places you could just sit and watch the water forever. We hope you enjoyed taking this shot as much as we loved looking at it, Vincent Fouchi Jr. Tew Lake, Louisiana 71343, USA
- Lake Pontchartrain
Eric McVicker/Only in Louisiana There were many submissions for Lake Pontchartrain, it is, after all, the largest natural lake in Louisiana. Eric McVicker captured this peaceful moment and it’s just breathtaking, don’t you think? Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana, USA
- Lake Chicot
Jennifer Newman/Only In Louisiana We love Lake Chicot, and many of our readers do too! This was another lake in Louisiana that had multiple submissions. Thank you to Jennifer Newman for capturing this lovely scene. Lake Chicot, Louisiana, USA
- Lake Ramsey
Erin Green Burton/Only In Louisiana What a beautiful misty scene over Covington’s hidden gem! If it’s this pretty in the picture, we wonder what Erin Green Burton thought while taking it. Lake Ramsey Savannah Wildlife Management Area, Covington, LA 70435, USA
- Toledo Bend
Redena Gassiott-Droddy/Only In Louisiana Yes, Toledo Bend made the list twice. The largest man-made body of water in the south deserves two spots. Thanks to Redena Gassiott-Droddy for submitting this golden glory! Toledo Bend Reservoir, United States
- Caney Lake
Stacy Allbritton/Only In Louisiana A hot spot for fishing, you can’t beat the views at Caney Lake. Stacy Allbritton, this photo is giving us the blues in the best possible way! Caney Lakes Recreation Area, Louisiana 71055, USA
- Flag Lake on BAFB
Jackie Thorley/Only In Louisiana Located near the Barksdale Air Force Base, you may have never heard of Flag Lake. And by the looks of this alligator, he’s quite content with having the place all to himself. What a great shot, Jackie Thorley! Flag Lake, Barksdale AFB, LA, USA
